๐ธ Scales, Slithers & Slime—Up Close and Behind Glass✨
Step into the Amphibian & Reptile House, where Taipei Zoo brings you face-to-face with the stealthiest, slimiest, and most misunderstood animals on Earth. From glass frogs to giant pythons, this air-conditioned indoor area is packed with exotic species and interactive learning.
๐ง️ It’s cool, dark, and full of unexpected animal drama—perfect for both rainy days and reptile fans!
๐ Stars of the Exhibit: Who You'll Meet
๐ Reticulated Pythons
& Boa Constrictors
Massive and mesmerizing. Watch these gentle giants coil around logs or slither
in their terrariums—great for snake fans (or brave newbies!).
๐ข Asian Box Turtles
& Giant Tortoises
See ancient-looking turtles slowly moving through water or basking under heat
lamps. Their wrinkled faces and calm movements are oddly calming.
๐ฆ Iguanas, Geckos
& Monitor Lizards
From bright green tree-dwellers to thick-bodied monitors, these reptiles show
off crazy color-changing skills and tongue-flicking behavior.
๐ธ Poison Dart Frogs,
Tree Frogs & Salamanders
Tiny but vibrant! Check out the neon frogs hopping around tropical
mini-habitats. Some tanks even recreate rainfall and fog for their
comfort.
๐ Crocodilians
Miniature crocodiles like Cuvier’s dwarf caiman or Siamese crocs are
on display—see their eyes peek just above the waterline. Stealthy and spooky.
๐ฆ Chameleons &
Leaf-Tailed Geckos
Camouflage experts—if you can find them! Their terrariums are like
"Where’s Waldo" for nature lovers.
