The Reptile Gardens in S. D.

Oh Dear, the Snake at Reptile Gardens is squishing our Daddy! Rachael and Lilly are enjoying being Squeezed to death! Cora does not appear concerned...

Look it is the boy in a bubble!

Prarie dog - no relation

We were observing the prarie dogs and found this strange sight!

This is Maniac. He is HUGE, and politely smiled at us while we were trying to take his picture.

This Rattle snake was part of a show. He was very nervous and his rattle was going the whole time!


This snake was in the show and it would puff out it's neck to scare away predadtors. It certainly scared Holly. She scooted back a row after this. This gentleman was showing us different snakes and explaining them to us.

The largest snake they had on display, and the albino it rooms with

A rather large and stinky tortoise we found in the outer houses.

"Pretty Bird"

This bird would mock us as we walked away. He wouldn't do it to our faces but if we weren't looking he'd yell at us..

Looking down on us! We were still wandering through the tropical bird sections and they were already headed to the snakes!

A friend we found at the reptile gardens. He got to wander freely through the tropical bird area.


I just love looking for trees. I thought the wooded areas in S.D. were quite beautiful.

Crazy Horse Memorial, We have never paid to go in but you do get a great view from the road if you know what you are looking for. Otherwise you just might miss it!
