Reptilia (zoo)

[7] London City Council rejected the proposal for a 28,000-square-foot (2,600 m2) reptile zoo in Westmount Mall.

[7] Of the rescues, many are obtained from previous owners who cannot cope with animals that have achieved their adult size, for which the zoo receives "constant calls".

Reptilia interacts closely with other educational organizations, supplying reptiles and other supplies to the Ontario Science Centre, helping the Toronto Zoo with their educational programs, and working with many of the schools in the Greater Toronto Area.

Reptilia provides reptiles along with skilled handlers for film productions, photo shoots, and television.

Reptilia has provided reptiles for Guinness, Murdoch Mysteries, Canada's Greatest Know-It-All, YTV, Daily Planet, and other shows and productions.
