Mexican West Coast Rattlesnake-2009 My son wants to be a herpetologist, specializing in snakes, when he grows up. Therefore, when we found out about Reptile Gardens last year we decided to plan our summer vacation for this year around visiting. On our first day's visit, my son's allergies started acting up really bad after going to the alligator show. We ended up having to leave after visiting for only a short time, but a kind lady working in the gift shop gave us a visitors pass so we could return. THANKS
