Oh no! We missed acknowledging World Lizard day yesterday 😔
Well we celebrate lizards every day 🦎🦎

The reveal 👀
This one was obviously hard, as nobody tried to take a guess.
It’s a Greater Rhea!

Can anyone guess the species?

Have a bright and sunny weekend 😃 🌞

Our next reptile health clinic will be on Wednesday, August 28th at Family Reptiles. We will have our microscope and portable X-ray machine on-site for any necessary testing.

PSA reminder to commercial bird sellers:
You are now regulated by the USDA and need to be licensed by them in order to continue selling. Part of the USDA accreditation is an inspection by a USDA accredited Veterinarian.
We are USDA accredited and can provide assistance with the veterinary inspection part of the process.

It’s nice to have the sun back. Hope everyone fared well after the storm.
Have a splendid day ☀️

Dr. Alfonso and a baby Coati. Coatis are native to Central and South America, and are highly arboreal. Very much like their relatives, the raccoon, they are very curious and intelligent.

The gorgeous plumage on these Gouldian finches never ceases to amaze me 🦜 🌈

Watch out for litter with ZooTampa's American Alligators, Chobe and Alfonso! ⁠🐊⁠

Before you pick up that disposable water bottle, make sure to remember our aquatic friends! 🌊 In 2020, it was estimated that Florida put around 7,000 tons of ⁠plastic waste into its marine environments.⁠ 😶⁠
⁠
Even if you put your litter in the trash can, that doesn't always mean it will be properly disposed of! 🚮 While plastic waste is traveling from place to place, it can end up in our native waterways and pollute the environment of our water-faring friends! 😲 If you want to help prevent the pollution of Florida's natural habitats, make sure to join ZooTampa in ⁠taking on the plastic-free eco-challenge by taking small steps to being plastic-free this July! ♻️⁠

Femoral pores in Iguanas produce a waxy secretion used during breeding season. This male Rhinoceros Iguana had a mild impaction of the pores that required manual extraction. With minor husbandry adjustments, this shouldn’t be a major issue and this male should be back to being a stud in no time.

One month from today, we will be having our Reptile wellness clinic, hosted by Family Reptiles.
