    You are welcome, Albert. It's a great place.

    If you come up, drop me a PM. I'd enjoy meeting up.

    Pics from yesterday's trip to Riverside Reptiles:




    This is an albino eastern diamondback rattlesnake. I heard that they are the largest pit viper in the world, but seeing it next to other species of rattlesnake put that into perspective.



    Growing up I was always taught to beware of copperheads, but I think I only saw one once. At that time, I wasn't able to get this close to appreciate it.




    My kids practically fell over laughing at these tiger salamanders. So derpy looking!



    I was truly awed by these full sized mainland reticulated pythons. I watch lots of videos about them. They're frequently discussed on this forum, but seeing one in person helped me to better understand both why people want to keep them and why it's a terrible idea.






    My kids and I really appreciated how accessible all the animals were. I've been to enough zoos where I struggled to see any of the animals on display to know that doesn't happen by accident. Here I was able to easily see all of them. That's a tribute to those that designed and run this facility. If you're ever in the area, it's well worth the money.

    Seriously, anyone in the area, they are definitely worth a visit.

    If anyone stops by there, please PM me, we are very close and would love to meet up and/or show off our reptiles too!
