Вernard Devaux

    In his article, Dr Вernard Devaux, a well-known herpetologist and outstanding expert of reptiles, characterized the activity of the Zookompleks as rather promising in the journal La Tortue, No 78, p. 54-75,  after he had paid a visit to the nursery. He noted that the level of animal keeping in the nursery meets international requirements. In the nursery, there are all conditions for keeping a large number of animals. There are both enclosed and open enclosures providing conditions maximally close to natural ones.
This scientist also participated in the field trip arranged by the Zookompleks for the study of this species in its natural environments.
