trip not what I expected!
We went to Brookfield Zoo today. Will post picks later. I saw very few herps. Was really amazed at how few they had. The last time I went I thought we had missed some displays. It appears to be a nice zoo, but reptiles don't seem to be a focus. I know zoos are keeping fewer specimens due to upkeep cost from what I hear. I think we have a wider variety here at home. I counted six snakes. I'm sure there were more, but where?

Re: trip not what I expected!
That sucks. I enjoyed my visit to our zoo. I went a little over a month ago and only saw one snake exhibit and I went back a couple weeks ago and found another one. They mostly have vipers, but they had a couple green Mambas, an Egyptian cobra, african rock, bushmaster, HUGE green anaconda, and lots more im leaving out or forgot. I was pretty impressed. There were tons of tiny vipers though, along with poison dart frogs and other herps.

I know the St. Louis zoo had a lot when I went years ago. Don't know if that is still true.
