On Saturday the girls had a Youth activity that lasted most of the day.
So we had the three boys and Michael wanted to go here:
It was the perfect place!
We saw lots of turtles and got to feed them.
Then they had a large building with all the snakes!
They had many different kinds and what was surprising to me was that many of them were on the move!
They have about 50 snakes on display including a King Cobra and a Black Mamba. We stayed to watch the Venom Extraction Show.
"This is a working venom factory. Behind the scenes are hundreds of venomous snakes just waiting to be "milked" for their valuable venom. Reptile World Serpentarium ships this precious commodity worldwide for use in medical and herpetological research. The regular "milking" of these dangerous snakes is done in public and makes Reptile World Serpentarium more than just another snake house."
At the end of the show they brought out two snakes to touch and hold.
Who would do it?

And me!
I was so happy to see a 14 foot alligator named Pete.
It wouldn't be Florida without seeing an alligator!
He was in an enclosure and you can see how close we were to him in the second photo.
What an intersting place!
