Our Animals


Sidney is our resident storr’s montior at Wilbur’s Wildlife. Described by his previous owner as the lizard equivalent of an ‘old man’ Sidney prefers to take life slow spending much of his day napping. The only thing guaranteed to get him up is a handful of insects which he loves to chase. Sidney is odd amongst monitors in that he seems to enjoy being handled and most people are able to hold him.
