Fun place, tons of snakes, lots of pictues didn't come out and they where just too fast to get pictures of, the garters where all at the back of the enclosure they where in and I wasn't able to get a picture, and they where tiny...
Most of them I won't remember the names of..

Many other snakes/lizards/frogs etc. Didn't get pictures of the inverts or amphibs, like 30 people in that hallway and getting these shots is not easy with kids running around looking at the critters! The snake show was funny aswell, when the rattler came up he asked what we would do if we found one in the wild. I of course said catch it, although no one else there was a brave snake catcher like me ;*). - Missed the huge eastern aswell, picture didn't turn out :(

No kidding! Nice pics, I love all the snakes.

[Stefan-A]

Nice photos. :) Not really my favorite snakes, though. :D

10 feet isn't that big for a king cobra, don't the males grow to 15-16 feet?

Just outside of rapid city south dakota.
Stefan: Yes, I'm guessing more like 12-14 but I am not very sure because of how he was lieing. I'm sure theres info on the web about how big he is.
