visit to Indian River Reptile Zoo

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. On to the pics.....

2 big tortoises that I can't remember the name off.. :(

I liked the spotted turtle the best.

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

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

cool pics thanks for sharing!

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

I LOVE the pic of the gator :D looks like a fun time!!
