Ok just a quick update for you today. I was speaking to a staff member and was told a few things. Firstly the beetle in my last post is a poisionus beetle from south east Asia (probably Vietnam but she wasn't certain).
Secondly the work they have started on the bottom floor is to create a brand new exhibition of reptiles and lizards. One in which you will be able to put her head up into a bubble and see creatures all around you. I think some thing like the meerkats tunnels/bubble observations they have in some zoos. I will keep you updated with some pictures soon.
Thirdly and finally she told me that the quarintine area is packed full of fish and they have had to set up more tanks to hold all the fish they have. So even their staff room has some tanks in now. I think this is very hopeful for the future, I'm expecting to see lots of new fish and exhibits soon.
