Morning everyone! Hope your days are going amazing! It was emotional getting one of my dream animals and also it coming from Forrest and Des! To add this super smart animal to the zoo is beyond a dream come true. These guys are no joke and we have to be super careful with our training. Probably the smartest and most dangerous lizards we have ever worked with. But we absolutely are in love with him! Hope one day you all can come and see him and all our other animals in person! Remember to enjoy today and realize how special it is! Stay positive and remember how much I appreciate you all! Love you all! Brian

What an honor it was to be there first night of baby kush’s arrival. The reptarium is the Mecca for any reptile keeper or fan. Being from ny it was worth the 12 hour drive and not being able to keep big snakes here it was amazing to handle them. The hospitality of everyone there was unbelievable. Brian and Lori were the nicest people and you can tell they care about everyone who comes through the doors.

Forest was always proud of you, Brian and I know he is with you every day on your journey. -Jo

What a sad yet beautiful moment for you all. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and personal moment with us, I cried with you. What are you naming him? I think Forrest or Forrester would be a wonderful tribute to your friend but ultimately just being able to raise such a beautiful and intriguing animal will be a testament to your love for your friend. All of my love Brian, not only to you but every person who works beside you and to every single amazing animal that is in such a wonderful place, taken care of diligently and with an abundance of love.

Hello Brian, Lori n crew. This was THE MOMENT I was waiting for since u announced u were getting him back in the beginning of the expansion. Then after finding out about Forrest n that it was his captive bred n raised monitor, it took on a whole new meaning. U said that the croc monitor is a target animal for monitor keepers n fans n u are so right. The only monitor more sought after would be a Komodo but being a gift from his wife, I know makes it impossible to top.
