This is the continuation of our visit to Baluarte. Checking out the Safari Gallery, and having close-up encounters with the Giraffe, our shuttle drove us around, passing through lots of empty fields and we noticed some sprinklers where there was some grass.
The shuttle driver was quiet most of the time so we didn't know where we were headed next. We just snapped photos as we got past them.

Some areas looked barren and with the day so hot, we wished there were more trees and greener fields around.
Even the areas close to the hotel and resort were kind of lacking some luster. We thought the place needed good landscaping work.

Anyhow, we reached the terrarium in less than 10 minutes. This is where two albino pythons and several green iguanas are kept.
We were met by this big guy. He was staring at us behind the glass enclosure. It looked like it was ready for some photo ops.
We know it was an iguana but we hoped they at least had some information about it - where it came from, when it was brought there, etc. Anyway, Google Lens identified it as an American Green Iguana. It was pretty big.

Its partner (just my assumption) was smaller. It didn't budge an inch while we were there. They had sliced carrots and potatoes in their bowl. Also noticed that they had their own swimming space.
The next enclosure housed several baby iguanas. We caught some pairs in the act of procreating. Well, don't worry, we didn't bother them and left them be after taking a few shots, lol!
The next two glass enclosures had one Albino Python each. The first one seemed to be relaxing and the next was curled in the corner.

At least in that area, several trees offered shed from the scorching sun. Still, we wished there were some flowers and garden plants along the pathways.

My companions walked ahead and they were fast. I was left behind looking around and then passed by another enclosure where a black python was barely visible. It was curled under the tree trunk.
Also seen some 50 yards away (or maybe less), was a turtle. Its head could be barely seen. Its back was dry and dusty.
Here's a panoramic shot that I took before leaving that area.
I caught up with my nephew at the Crocodile Park. We thought of feeding some crocs but I think we were tired so we just took some photographs.

I saw two floating in the water and one was just lying still beside the pond. We spent just about 10 minutes or so along the crocodile pond, photographing some reflections along the pond's fence.
Then it was time to go because the shuttle was waiting to bring us to where the dinos were. The driver was quite nice so he got himself some juicy cash tip from our purse.
After the photo session with the statues, we stopped by the souvenir shop where we spent some 30 minutes or so buying shirts and other stuff. We exited Baluarte grounds around lunchtime.
Our visit was kind of a whirlwind and I don't think we would like to go back to the place again.
