Mommy Talk Show Candid Conversation with a TV Mom
Just in time for Atlanta Spring break, you can check out the newest Zoo Atlanta exhibit. The Scaly, Slimy Spectacular opened this week and is an amazing upgrade to the zoo’s former World of Reptiles Building. I had an opportunity to visit right before the official opening and I’ve been following along on the Zoo Atlanta Facebook page.
The green tree python isn’t a venomous snake, but it does have very long teeth. These are thought to help the snake grip its prey in the trees. #Ssspectacular

Scaly Slimy Spectacular
I can’t wait to take A.J. back there for a visit. The Scaly, Smily Spectacular is designed for visitor’s to get up close and personal with the wildlife. Each amphibian and reptile is housed in an environment where they feel comfortable, yet you can see them clearly through glass displays and aquatic habitats.
There are 100 animals housed here inside the Amphibian and Reptile Experience including crocodiles, frogs and toads, lizards, salamanders, snakes, along with turtles and tortoises. You can learn even more about them with new interactive kiosks perfect for adults and children.
I got up close with the rocky display that looked more like Arizona, then Georgia.
