Our
first encounter here was with this very old, and very LARGE, tortoise. Matthew
joined in with the other kids in petting him... while still keeping a firm
grip on Mommy's hand, of course.
Not quite sure how
these prairie dogs fit the "reptile" theme, but they were cute
anyway.
Next up was a demonstration
of gator wrestling. The trainer seems to have a firm grip on the situation.
Uh oh... here come
the reinforcements.
A nice reward for a job well done...
and for not eating the trainer!
Hmmm. This guy still
looks hungry!
Giddyup!
Do you think he
speaks Spanish?
Jessie
and Matthew are ever so excited to be having their picture taken in the
"garden" part of Reptile Gardens.
