Discovery reptiles

Discovery Reptiles is a traveling zoo that is located in Naples, Florida. It boasts an animal roster that contains some of the most endangered reptiles on earth. Discovery Reptiles was founded back in 2009 and initially started with just 4 animals in its collection. They had 2 Red Tailed Boa Constrictors Boa constrictor, an Asian Water MonitorVaranus salvator and an African Rock MonitorVaranus albigularis ionidesi. Over the course of 2010 Discovery Reptiles slowly added to their animal collection with the addition of a Caiman Lizard Dracaene guianensis and Rhinoceros Iguana Cyclura cornuta which is listed as Threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN. The main purpose of Discovery Reptiles is to educate the public on conservation and the importance of biodiversity, in order to do that Discovery Reptiles wanted to add an animal that would capture the attention of audiences around Southwest Florida. Discovery wanted an animal that wasn't found in the Southwest Florida region and an animal that isn't commonly found in zoological facilities, so Discovery Reptiles added a young female Yellow Anaconda Eunectes notaeus.

More Animal Species and More Rescues

With the addition of a Yellow Anaconda, Discovery Reptiles started gaining popularity and was able to acquire more animals to their collection but there was a slight twist. Instead of purchasing new animals from breeders Discovery Reptiles decided to rescue unwanted animals and even rescue sick animals and rehabilitate them back to health. Discovery Reptiles was able to rescue Sulcata Tortoise Geochelone sulcata, Jungle Carpet Pythons Morelia spilota cheynei, Coastal Carpet Pythons Morelia spilota mcdowelli, a Borneo Blood Python Python curtus breitensteini, an Argentine Black and White Tegu Tupinambis merianae, Amazon Tree Boa Corallus hortulanus, Bull Snakes Pituophis catenifer sayi, Corn Snakes Pantherophis guttatus guttatus, Hog Nose Snake Heterodon nasicus, Hog Island Boa Boa constrictor imperator and many more. Discovery Reptiles also added newer animals like a female Caiman Lizard to go along with their male, two Critically Endangered Grand Cayman Blue Iguanas Cyclura lewisi and finally two Endangered Louisiana Pine Snakes Pituophis ruthveni.
