Welcome to our new blog!


We started this blog because many of you have questions about reptiles and about Reptile Gardens.

Some of what we offer here will be technical, some fun, and some will simply be news.

We also see and receive so many web posts of photos and information concerning reptiles that are exaggerated or just plain untrue. As the premier reptile collection in the world, we feel a need to address these "reptile myths" and tall tales.

And, with so much going on with our staff and our reptile collection, we want to keep you up to date on all our happenings as well.

Feel free to join our ongoing dialogue!

About Us

Dog Policy

We love all animals, wild and domesticated. Unfortunately due to a high number of recent incidents with dogs, our insurance company has advised us that we can no longer allow dogs, or other personal pets, on the Reptile Gardens grounds. ADA approved service dogs are, of course, allowed although there are three areas where they are not allowed for their safety and the safety of our animals. We do offer a shaded grassy area adjacent to our parking lot for walking your dog. We only ask that your pet be leashed and attended to at all times. You are welcome to come and go from the park as often as you like to tend to your dog. For more information, visit our FAQ Page
