Wow glad to see reptile gardens is still there. We used to go every summer in the 1970s and we loved seeing all the animals. As a kid didn't appreciate the gardens. Remember the walk through area with the snakes. My brother and I loved getting close up of the snakes.
Thanks for commenting Debbie! It was a very different experience touring this time by comparison to visiting as teens. As a kid, the garden aspect held no interest for me. It's crazy what aging does for a person!....I don't think aging makes us more boring...I think it enhances our ability to recognize the intricate as well as the skill and work required to accomplish!
Thanks for watching! There were lots and lots of rocks that I filmed but didn't include, so as not to bore everyone. But it was fascinating that they had large piles of rocks from all over the world...Kenya, Brazil, Europe, Mexico. I would venture to say 500 to a 1000 plus pounds of each kind from each place. I couldn't help but wonder about how they got them delivered!
Rocks, bagels, changing of the seasons....thank you for the tour! I really appreciate the plant identifications and the history clips related to the age of Oscar the turtle.

The rocks blew me away. The planting was really nice, and they appear to have a really nice reptile setup too! I would LOVE to go there!
