Day 40:

Prehistoric Pets
aka...The Reptile Zoo
Max, Ivy and I drove just a couple of blocks away to see a little bit of crazy. Huge Tortoises, crawling on top of each other. We watched them eat fresh fruits and vegetables...
We also watched some other boys feeding the turtles these nasty 'super worms'

we saw a two-headed California King Snake... how does that work?!?
and lots of huge tarantulas, lizards, turtles and snakes.
Then we got to hold a baby tortoise...one of the babies of the huge ones that were crawling over each other. This one was 3 months old
We got to hold a bearded dragon.. and try to feed it one of those nasty 'super worms.'
And we got to hold and touch 3 different Ball Snakes...
This was such a cool place. If you go, beware: there are unsupervised crazy animals just laying around on benches, etc.. Yikes! We had an absolute blast! Max couldn't wait to hold the animals...and he was the only kid that would even touch them!

Wowza! I didn't see that place in any of my research, but I don't think i'd want to go anyway! Eek! Well, okay, maybe once! Looks like it was fun! I'm loving all your FUN ideas!
