Charlie the Komodo Dragon to Debut at Boo at the Zoo
Visitors to the Saint Louis Zoo's Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium will soon meet Charlie, a 7-year-old Komodo dragon.
Charlie has been in quarantine for three weeks, acclimating to his new environment after arriving from the Bronx Zoo.
Justin Elden, curator of herpetology and aquatics at the Saint Louis Zoo, says the 5-foot-long lizard has been settling in well.
Charlie is the first Komodo dragon to call the Saint Louis Zoo home in more than 12 years and will make his official debut at Boo at the Zoo.
