In November, three additional terrariums were built in the discovery center next to the herpetarium. These three tanks are all hooked together to one large water source in the middle where tadpoles and tropical fish reside. At noon everyday a simulated thunderstorm occurs. Artificial lightning is produced by timed strobe lights and booming thunder is projected throughout the room from half a dozen speakers. The two terrariums on either end house multiple species of frogs, including marsupial frogs (Gastrotheca cornuta), lemur monkey frogs (Phyllomedusa lemur), giant monkey frogs (Phyllomedusa bicolor), and an assortment of poison dart frogs. All six new terrariums were created by Variance Design located in Maryland, and will help educate the public about amphibians of the neotropics.
