This is Wilson, she's about 9' and lives at the aquarium I volunteer at. I was adding some fish to her tank a few days ago and she was very curious as to what I was doing. I already put this picture up in the photo lounge but I thought it might be better appreciated in here. Plus I think it's a pretty neat shot. Comments welcome :D

Very cool pic. Any way we could get a full enclosure shot? Always loved seeing these guys in big aquatic enclosures. Presumably the fish you were adding were feeders?

Thank you, I don't know about a full enclosure shot, the tank is in a tight space so there isn't really much room to take pictures of the outside. I will try though. Here is a pic of the exhibit she usually lives in, it is currently being renovated which is why she is in the holding tank. If you look close you can see her sister Marion and the two big females Ashly and Kathleen.

The fish were actually a bunch of big south american cichlids (chocolates, geos, sevs, parrots, and acaras) that had to be moved out of a holding tank to make room for an upcoming project. So far Wil has shown only passing interest in them. She is usually fed a mix of F/T rabbits, guniea pigs, quail, and rats.

Very cool, thanks! Does she normally share living space with fish? If they leave each other alone for the most part while they're in the holding tank, it may be worth suggesting to the (donno if this is the right word, but) manager of the aquarium that some be included in the regular display - would make for quite the dynamic visual presentation of both species.

The display tank has about 600 tetras, cories, hatchets, juvenile eartheaters, and twig cats in addition to the four snakes and two turtles. After the renovation is done the eatheaters will probably be taken out and various dwarf cichlids will be added
