Sue and I went to the Reptile Zoo yesterday; it’s located in
Monroe, North Carolina, which is about 45 minutes from our home in Concord.
Admission is $6 dollars, and you really do get your money’s worth out of the
visit. These two friendly lizards are a good example of the activity displayed
by many of the reptiles. Of course, some were docile and immobile; as is their
nature; while others were quite excited to have visitors.
This corn snake was very active; I even took some video of
him as he slithered quickly about his cage. Sue and I had a couple of these
fine reptiles in a house we lived in a few years back. We buried them by the
footers to root out a nest of mites that were driving us mad. They are harmless
to humans, but deadly to rodents and small insects.
An abundance of turtles rounded out the visit, along with a
variety of spiders, frogs and toads. All of the reptiles were kept in natural
settings, with appropriate lighting and well cared for. The exhibit is small,
housed in a unit of a strip mall. With time, this museum will grow larger and
become a major attraction. The love and care of the owner for his hobby definitely
makes this museum a delightful experience. The contact info is located on the
business card below.Be sure to visit the web site at coldbloodedencounters.com for more
information on this unusual and educational exhibit.
