🦘😂 We think someone has something to say...
If this photo could have a speech bubble, what do you think he’d be saying? 👀
“Is that food?”
“Are you looking at me?”
“Can I have a snack?”
“Seriously... another photo?” 😂

We want to hear your best captions! 👇 Drop your funniest answer in the comments. 🦘💚

😂👀 That face says it all...
We’re pretty sure little Nelson has either spotted something interesting... or is waiting very patiently for someone to bring snacks. 👀

If you could caption this photo, what do you think he’s thinking?

😂🌿 Our Koala, Moreton, clearly didn’t get the memo that it’s time to get up!

There are two types of mornings:
1️⃣ Ready to take on the day
2️⃣ Absolutely not. Please come back later. 😴😂
Our sleepy koala has definitely chosen option 2! 🐨💤

What’s your mood this morning? Are you a “ready to go” person or a “five more minutes” person? 👇😂

🦎👀 Someone looks like they’re waiting for their close-up!
Our mighty Perentie is one impressive reptile, and at this size, you definitely know when he’s around! 😂

Australia’s largest monitor lizard, Perenties can grow to some seriously impressive sizes, and those gorgeous markings make them pretty hard to miss. 🦎🌿

Although judging by this photo, I think he’s less interested in being impressive and more interested in knowing what’s for lunch! 😂

Come and check out our Perentie and the rest of our incredible reptiles at Snakes Downunder!

🦘💚 A little feeding time fun! 💚🦘
There’s nothing quite like getting up close with our furry friends in the Kangaroo Reserve! 🌿

You can purchase a bag of feed from the kiosk when you arrive for just $2, then head into the reserve and enjoy the chance to try and hand-feed them. 🥰 They’re pretty good at letting you know when they think you’ve got more food too... 😂

It’s a simple little experience, but definitely one the kids (and adults!) love.
Have you stopped by our Kangaroo Reserve on your visit? 👀

🦎🌿 A little Taba appreciation post! 🌿🦎

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this absolute stunner? 😍
Taba, our Fijian Crested Iguana, certainly knows how to make an impression! With that incredible crest, gorgeous markings and those serious prehistoric vibes, she’s one pretty special resident here at Snakes Downunder. 💚

Fijian Crested Iguanas are critically endangered in the wild, making it even more special to have Taba here and giving our visitors the chance to see this incredible species up close.

Have you spotted Taba on your visit to Snakes Downunder? 👀

🦎 DOUBLE TROUBLE! 🦎

These two Shinglebacks are looking very comfortable enjoying a wander around their enclosure at Snakes Downunder! 💚

Also known as stump-tailed lizards, Shinglebacks are one of Australia's most recognisable reptiles, with their chunky bodies, short tails and beautiful patterned scales.

Come and meet our shinglebacks and all the other incredible reptiles and animals at Snakes Downunder Reptile Park & Zoo in Childers!
Who else loves these chunky little characters? 🥰🦎
