We visited the same reptile Gardens back in 1999. It was a very clean, well run and lovely place when we went.

I suppose it is possible it has changed in that time, but I have to admit, I find it hard to believe it was as bad as you say. Goodness knows I've been in homes of people who own a lot of snakes and been appalled at the amount of feces in tubs, and I don't mean where the snake recently went, but has obviously gone four or five times and it's not been cleaned. Since snakes only go once a week or less, that I think is inexcusable. But to see where a snake had gone a single time and it hadn't been cleaned yet, you have to expect that, they don't have enough staff to post someone at every enclosure to clean it as soon as a snake goes.
