Has anyone been to the Manchester Museum before? I am going down next weekend, looking forward to it. What are the reptilian highlights of the collection?

That's cool MJ as i hope to organise a behind the scenes tour!!! Very Happy

I had already checked the website, it doesn't give any real information on the collection itself.

Pretty sure they have a fair few species of dendrobatid (sp) frog. I havn't been in a good few years but my niece went a few months ago and said they had some Barney's (Barney is my ackie) Laughing

so I assume she meant some form of terrestrial lizard!

In fact I have now been inspired to go whilst I am home Very Happy

Bugger! I was in Manchester a few months ago, and didn't realise this museum existed.

Well, for those of you interested, i survived the long trip down to Manchester on Saturday. I arrived home at 20:30 having left my house at 5:30. Boy what a long day, but WELL worth it!!!!!

I shall post pictures and more information of my adventure once i manage to figure out how to download the photos from my camera. Laughing
