Default Zoos??

I love zoo's and aquariums etc. Yesterday me and my OH went to london zoo for the day. I thought the reptile house was flippin brilliant. All the animals looked really well cared for, with plenty of room and heat etc. They were clean,

Best part of the day....i had my head about 5cm away from a Gaboon Viper!!!!! I can't believe how massive his head was!!!!
