Riverside Reptiles Education Center - Enfield, CT

[dakski]

A local gentleman, Brian Kleinman, who has been doing educational shows, etc. in our area for years, just opened up a Reptile Education Center/Zoo in my home town of Enfield, CT. Katie and I got a family membership early on in the process and spent some time speaking with him and staff. Well, this weekend was opening weekend for members only, and they officially open next weekend.

Wow, what a cool place. Some amazing setups and some amazing animals with more to come.

Pics below of some of the animals, but nowhere near everything he's got.

I want to say the staff was incredibly nice and knowledgeable, and Brian spent 10 minutes with me troubleshooting Behira's shedding issue (and we both agreed if it's improving and she's pounding food and growing, let it be) and just talking reptiles.

I will definitely be taking advantage of my membership.

If anyone in MA or CT, or wherever, want to spend a fun time looking at some unique critters, including many we really cannot keep or don't want the responsibility for at home, I highly recommend Riverside Reptiles Education Center.

If you head, down, let me know, I am not far and it would be fun to meet up as well.
