So after brousing the website we decided to shoot up to the "reptile zoo" to kill a day...once we got there we paid the entrance fee and walked through the gate and I was in shock...the first thing I noticed was a tortise with a tumor growing out of his neck...we started walking down the first isle and most of the snakes had stuck shed on them, they were cramped into cages that were way way too small for them...they had exposed lightbulbs in the tanks with the wires stapled to the sides. They had multiple tegus in cages that were 3x2. Most of the lizards had severe nose rub and swollen mouths. I saw mouth rot on a few monitors again cramped into small cages. They had a larger enclosure with 2 or 3 yellow anacondas in it and in the same enclosure was a red tail boa. There were two savs in a 4 foot cage with a little substrate (bottom of the cage was showing) we saw roaches crawling inside the snake cages. The carpert was peeled up with white moldy looking spots all over...then we came to the petting section. They had a blue tongue skink and I asked them what species it was to which I was told "its a blue tongue skink they are all the same species and all from Australia". I told the employee thst was incorrect and he just shrugged. They also had a crested gecko out thst had a stubbed tail. One of the kids asked him about it and he said they all drop their tails before they reach adulthood. There was soo many issues I saw that just shocked me...husbandry was terrible in every cage, there was poop all over the enclosures, there were ants crawling all over the cages...there was just so many issues that I could keep going. I was not only disappointed, but left there completely pissed off. I thought that maybe since they were big into breeding and well known in the community we would see animals being properly cared for but instead I felt like we had just paid to walk through the equivalent of a reptile pound.
