Jörmungandr, the Bearded Dragon Blacksmith has joined my world of characters. Swinging his hammer in the forge brings a new meaning to Fire breathing dragon!

Good morning to you too handsome 😚

Yellow Sea Snake (Hydrophis platurus xanthos), family Elapidae, Costa Rica

Venomous.

This is an all yellow subspecies of the Yellow-bellied or Pelagic Sea Snake.

From the Rattlecam project- "The first baby garter snake has arrived at the den! It immediately found the perfect pillow."

More rattlesnake snuggles, from the same location.

I know a lot of the time in captive care settings, we warn keepers that their snakes aren't cuddling- that they're competing for resources. And I'm of the opinion that for the vast majority of captive snakes, they don't benefit from prolonged, enforced conspecific contact.

I love all reptiles

Prehensile-tailed skinks Monkey and Banjo share a snack! 🥬

These animals have been longtime ambassadors while living behind the scenes, but they are now on exhibit for the first time in AOP history! They also welcomed their first baby together last year, MoJo. Stop by our new Frogs: Facing a Changing World exhibit to see this adorable family! 👨‍👩‍👦
