rattlers & reptiles印象

If you're looking for a nice neat antiseptic 21st century exhibit, then drive on. However, if you want to tour a rattlesnake exhibit circa 1960's, then this is your place. The minute my son and I walked in I felt like I had stepped back in time to my childhood. This is a true piece of memorabilia. It's also a great rattlesnake collection, probably the most complete I've ever seen. Best of all it's very cheap (I think it was $4 per person).

This place looks like an auto junkyard out front but it does have lots of snakes. Good info about the snakes and they look to be well cared for. The exhibit room is junky and has the feel of a cluttered garage.

Per other reviews, this is nothing fancy. But I didn't expect to get attacked by mosquitos. There is standing water inside the shed-like facility and we were getting eaten up. I would skip it unless you take bug spray. Otherwise, it was a good 15-min diversion during the trip.

We visited this facility in the summer of 2013. Don't expect to spend more than a 1/2 hour here since it's practically one room. However, the price is more than reasonable. You are paying for the care and feeding of exotic reptiles. For many family of four the entrance fee was $10. It was $1 for children and $4 for adults with a maximum $12 charge for a larger family. The snakes are identified clearly with their habits marked on a map. They have other critters such as scorpions and tarantulas. It's worth a quick stop.

I cannot believe how the ASPCA is literally 2 blocks down the street and this place is still open. I guess snakes don't count as animals. Every tank had multiple sheds. Snakes only shed every few months. Half of the water bowls were bone dry. Some with feces in them. Everyone of theses snakes were starving. I have never seen so many snakes so active. They need there tanks cleaned, water, and some food! If your too scared to handle them do not open up a shop making money off of them.

Get up close and personal to some of Texas' critters. If you dont like snakes or spiders...this is not the place for you

This is not a big place but lots of reptiles and tarantulas to see! Admission is fair. Buzz, the owner is a very interesting man and talking to him is worth the price to get in!! This was our second visit to see the snakes.

This is a very small building with about 20-25 types of rattlesnake on display; they also had one display with gila monsters. The labeling is clear, and the 6-7 men sitting around front chatting were willing to answer questions. My husband thought we wasted $12 dollars (maximum charge for a family), but our teen and I thought it was a fair price. This is not high-end entertainment or even a zoo; it's a roadside attraction in a very small town. And it has all of the charm of a small town attraction. I'm happy we went.

Hubby and I have passed this place several times and we finally stopped to see what was inside. It does look like a auto repair shop outside and it is a little disorganized when you first walk in but there are so many rattlers to see, tarantulas, iguanas and other poisonous snakes that it is well worth the small fee to enter. For a family of four or more, the family fee is the best deal. Hubby really enjoyed reading about the area from which the snake came, what type of snake and the additional info available. The gentleman at the front was available to answer any questions and was very friendly. A bit musty/dusty inside but then the snakes didn't seem to mind and they all looked well cared for and fed. A great place to stop and spend a half hour if you have not been before.

My niece and I stopped in to check out the inmates at Rattlers and Reptiles. It's dark and small and a little bit weird. I thought the price of admission was a tad expensive for what is on display, but I figure they probably don't get a lot of traffic and have to charge a little higher.The highlight of the visit was when a skink scurried into the building and the shopkeeper fed it a couple of roaches. If I were a free roaming reptile, I would not go in there for fear of becoming a permanent part of the exhibit! :)
