visit to Indian River Reptile Zoo

[Buttons]

Decided to visit the Indian River Reptile Zoo this weekend. It was very fun. If you're in the Peterborough, Ontario area go visit!!!! Pics aren't the greatest. They were taken with my girlfriends crappy point and shoot. The snake enclosures are also behind glass doors and then the enclosure glass as well so makes it a little harder to get good photos.

Excellent pics,

Thank you for sharing them.

I definately have the most insane urge to try and tickle this guy under the chin - dunno why.

Good question Matt, after looking at the notes I wrote down and googling I think I may have got that one wrong. It was early and I had worked very late.

He jumped at the glass (in the 2nd pic) and my girlfriend jumped backwards and screamed.

The "basilisk" rattlesnake is actually the crotalus basiliscus also known as Mexican West Coast Rattlesnake or Mexican Green Rattler
