My Little Garden Zoo's Strawberry Pot Herpetarium

 A Herpetarium is a collection of Reptiles and Amphibians.  In My Little Garden Zoo it's a Mexican Strawberry Pot--and why not?  Enjoy!

The tiers are inhabited with a combination of natural flora (mostly volunteer wild violets) and some bits of moss that I did place there.  The top is home to a three old Sage plant that I actually use when cooking.  When I planted it three years ago, it was small enough that I would also keep my Komodo Dragon here.  And even though it dies back each winter, it returns so robustly that the Komodo Dragon has another home, now.

Non-contiguous, bonus reptiles.  I have several others off display.  From Black Mambo, Anaconda, pythons to Spur-thigh Tortoise and Green Sea Turtles to 3 species of Poison Dart Frogs.  The season is young.  Who knows what will make it's way to the public?
