the animals in Creature Corner and meet some of the smaller residents.

| Fancy
stroking a hissing cockroach? |
During
Meet the Keeper, animal keepers Judith Layzell, Mark Harrison and
Paul Carpenter get out a variety of insects, snakes and creepy crawlies
from their display cabinets for the general public to see and touch
close up.
Children
and adults are fascinated by the baby Californian king snake, meal
worms and real snake skin. They touched a millipede, bugs and a
Madagascan hissing cockroach - the largest cockroach in the world.
Keeper
Judith Layzell took us on a tour of Tropical World where you can
see hundreds of plants and animals from all over the globe.
Judith
says: "Many visitors enjoy seeing the animals and this is a
chance for them to find out a bit more about them and see them up
close."
Meet
the keeper starts at 11am, and is on Monday - Friday during the
school holidays.
