    Going to Florida for the first time: Any good reptile destinations? :)

    Everybody thinks I'm funny for being so excited about going to Florida, but I've never been and I've been trying to go since 2006 and it never worked out. But my boyfriend and I booked our tickets today and solidified the plans so I'm stoked!! And since Florida is herp heaven on the East Coast I'd like some ideas of must-visit places. Preferably not too far away from Orlando (we'll be staying in Titusville), since we'll be relying on friends' cars.

    http://www.reptileworldserpentarium.com/ - Milking facility! Way cool venomous herps and they do a milking show. It's about 45min from Orlando, and about an hour or so away from Titusville.

    http://www.gatorland.com/ - Woot! Gators! about 30min from Orlando, 1hr Titusville

    http://reptilediscoverycenter.com/ - 45min from orlando, 1hr Titusville

    That's all for now, I'm sure I can find some more though

    I don't think I'm quite ready for field herping just yet. I wouldn't want to make a mistake and spend the rest of my vacation in the hospital!

    Wow, thanks!! I'll have to see if we can visit some of these places. Especially Gator Land, I think my boyfriend would really like that one too.
