Chameleon Village Reptile Park

[wadekilian]

brandon gartrell20 and I got the opportunity to help out at the Chameleon Village Reptile Park in Hartebeespoort during these past holidays. I was able to get some shots of quite a few really nice animals. All pictures were taken with an Ipad. Here are a few of them:

Tiger Reticulated Python

Big female Red-tail Boa. She's possibly gravid

King Cobra

Terrapins expecting a bit of food

Bullfrogs

Big female Mangrove Viper

Impressive male Iguana

Stunning turqoise Boomslang


Red Spitting Cobra


"East African" Gaboon Vipers (female first, then male)


Copperheads. One female is heavily gravid

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake

Leopard Tortoises gathering under their wooden shelter

I WAS THERE!!!

Well almsot :'( .... Stood in front of the place and I was like nah. Can't be worth that much. I probably saw all the reptiles inside at an expo in any case!! Guess its a step up from the snake park I use to go visit...

Thanks for sharing though

Looks like you guys had some fun, always good to see clean cages.

I have to make a plan to check out that O.hannah when I'm in Gauteng again.

You might as well not even lookout for reptile parks with that mentality, haha! I definitely think its worth a visit.

Thanks Justin! It was quite fun, the snakes aren't handled often so some of their 2m Ratsnakes definitely give us a bit of an adrenaline rush haha. The King Cobra is quite impressive indeed. She didn't spread a full on hood while we were there but apparently she does get quite high when you really tick her off.
