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.

Titusville is only about 20mins from me :D let me dig around for some rep related places for ya :P

Tiff's house to take the rx-8 for a spin

Florida is great for field herping this time of year.

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 :D

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!
