Has anyone been to NERD?

[TheMolenater2]

Well, I might be able to take a tour of NERD some time this year, so I was wondering, has anyone on this site taken a tour of NERD? Sounds to me like the best vacation ever.

Yeah sorry to say but I've been there more times than I can count. I live maybe 30 minutes from there if that.
I actually just got a personal tour this past weekend with a few friends on this forum and got to hold a Killerbee Axanthic spider!!!!!!!!!!! only a couple days old, there were three of them and we each got to hold one. I think I almost fainted.

I would reccomend anyone to go and take a tour it's very fun, you get to see some amazing stuff.
You'll see ball python rooms, retic rooms, lizard rooms, and cool snakes such as cobras, rattlesnakes, and puff adders.

Thanks for the info, and if I could hold a killerbee axanthic, I WOULD faint. lol

I think holding a baby killerbee axanthic spider was the coolest thing ever, too bad I didn't have a camera. But I have two others on this forum who can swear that we did see them and get to hold them.

The retic room they have is insane, they have some huuuuge retics there and I'm talking huuuge.

I would love to go there sometime myself. There is also a group of ladies that go up there every year and spend a week helping out with the collection and taking pictures galore, and usually bringing one or two home with them. I know that Robin, Emily, Frenchie (Deb) and the crazy woman from Alabama (Christie) go up there every year. There is a link of some pics below.

I would definately have to reccomend everyone to go atleast once. You do truly see some things that you will never see in a zoo, not just snakes.

Looks like a crap load of fun.

That's so cool!

I have not been to NERD, but I did visit BHB last fall, and it was really cool.

Honestly, the snakes were really cool, and I know I saw way more dollars worth of snakes than I will ever see again...save for another visit....but really, the coolest part of the day for me was just shooting the breeze with Brian.

the bee was ridiculous and i had to change my pants when i got home, it was a great experience, especially to me being so new to reptiles.
