This is the personal blog of Herpetologist and Amphibian Conservationist Andrew Gray. Through this blog, I hope to bring you an idea of my work with reptiles and amphibians, including husbandry, research, fieldwork, and education, in the hope of sharing my experience, expertise and interest in these wonderful creatures.

We have made many trips to the museum over the years and the highlight for our family is always the frogs.We feel very proud that a northwest museum is raising such environmental awareness:You are true ambassadors, please keep up the good work! Hope to be visiting again soon .

About the Vivarium
I will be four in 2009, just before Maharaja the elephant comes back from being cleaned.
I am a keen and frequent visitor to Manchester Museum but my favourite place is the Vivarium. I was able this week to see up close some of the lovely frogs, lizards and snakes that are in the collection and learned that some of them are shedding their skins just now.
I like to see the live creatures because they are always moving about and I have to look hard to find them, except the green python which seems always to be asleep on his branch.
Please keep this live exhibit going and if possible expand it!
Maybe some day I will be able to go to the Rain Forest and catch some frogs to bring back like Andrew.
Best wishes
Harry ( with some help from his Grandpa)
