Exotic Pets ...Reptiles

Do you know what kind of reptile this is? Do you know what he eats?

This is a chameleon. It has a long tongue and likes to eat bugs.

Chameleons can change color to blend in with their environment, when they want to protect themselves.

 

Here are some galapagos tortoises. They are from the Galapagos Islands.

We also see many amphibians on our service. This is a toad that had to have several hours of surgery to fix a stomach problem.

The tube you see going into his mouth delivers a gas into his lungs that makes him sleep through the surgery.

When he awoke, he was able to start eating his favorite food, which includes mice and goldfish.
