First snake encounter.

Zoos were always a favourite when I was younger. You couldn't get me away from any exhibit that had fish or reptiles in it. Most of the time it was only the carnivores I actually wanted to see.

I was also a huge zoo fan as a kid. My fav animals there were the hippos. I remember one winter my mom and I went and since it's too cold for hippos to be outside in Detroit in the winter, the hippos were inside. The hippo house was locked for some reason and my world was ruined. My mom actually forced the door open and we snuck in. Best mom ever.

The Detriot Zoo now has an AWESOME amphibian house. If anyone is ever in the area it's worth the visit. The reptile house is small, but very nicely kept with a huge reticulated python in a brand new viv.
