Alligator Alley and Reno's Reptiles

If you find yourself near Foley, Alabama, you should visit Alligator Alley, even if the whole city of Summerdale is a speed trap.  Consider yourself warned!  If Reno's Reptiles are there, definitely pay the extra couple bucks required to add to your ticket. It's worth watching a feeding, and it's also worth buying a cup of food to feed to the gators.

Everyone had a chance to hold a two year old gator

Very glad for the tape on the gator's mouth

This is the three year old pen

They had a boardwalk where you can observe the bigger gators

This is Captian Crunch, the world record holder for bite strength. He is 13 feet long.

All the kids held a baby gator, even Jake! We were all amazed at how soft its skin was!  As cool as the gators were, I think the highlight for most was Reno's Reptiles. The guy clearly had a passion for his reptiles, and he shared it with everyone interested.  The girls held lots of super cool snakes (and I am not a snake person AT.ALL!) Even Steve & I held a couple. We also got to hold a tarantula. It was kind of cool and kind of creepy, all at the same time!  This place is definitely worth a stop!

We all had fun holding this friendly snake. It was an albino anaconda if I remember right.

This snake was too heavy for Genna to hold

This snake was named Cuddles.  We had no idea that it would try to go between us.

The snake went around my neck and back

This snake knew how to amuse

Shanan and Linda wanted to get in on the fun.

They also had a tarantula you could hold, which is very creepy.
