AlanLeela, Melbourne Museum's resident Veiled Chameleon, is once again back on display in the Discovery Centre. She has had a lengthy break behind the scenes after having a major operation to remove a mass of infertile eggs which were lodged in her reproductive tract. During this time three other reptiles have had their stint in the limelight within Discovery Centre. Although Murray the python, Bigi the Black-tailed Monitor and Jacky the Jacky Dragon were popular residents, their star status just doesn't compare to 'Miss Supreme in Green'. The Discovery Centre staff were beside themselves with excitement as I wheeled the trolley in yesterday with new green plants, branches and the mega-star herself onboard. Leela is back in excellent health, and is set to captivate visitors with her stunning appearance and unique behaviours.
