we were working with dendrobatadid frogs and bitis gabonica vipers mainly. for instance, there was ongoing research into why basilisk lizards would eat d. auratus like there was no tomorrow but would ignore d. leucomelas entirely so we had a good breeding program for those among others. i had d. tinctorius, d. azureas and e. bicolor going as well. they also had over 50 young gaboon vipers that they were using to research just how accurately they could locate and strike prey in complete darkness. gorgeous little guys but definately not debarbed lol. i also volunteered for the phyllomedusine frogs and phelsuma geckos whenever i could since those are favorites of mine.
i am not sure, i was working in herps primarily so that was just a one time deal. i wouldnt be surprised if they were not, zoo types dont like dismanteling the critters even for their own safety. these were for a petting zoo type thing in the dallas zoo though....
Off subject what herps were you working with primarily tot?
