Remember, at any reputable zoo, everything behind the scenes is as big or bigger than the displays you see when you are there. They have more than 2 adults. What they do with a lot of animals is have more behind the scenes and cycle their display animals.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! *light bulb lights up*

I remember seeing them years ago, when the komodos just came in. Gosh, I remember thinking that the tank was a tad small, but I was pretty young then. Can't remember how big it was.

I wasnt too interested in seeing the komodos after they just came in, so I didn't bother going in there the next few times and forgot about it...I'm definately going to check them out next time

Thanks for the reminder

OK, I checked with another website based on Carettochelys insculpta and I was explained that there are no FRT being bred in captivity nor in Indonesia. Just as I thought before. They just collect the eggs and hatch them.


Cheers,
JJ

Many zoos do this with their reptiles to prevent stress from being on display all the time.
