点评:There was a good variety of species, enough to occupy you for a good while. The problem is with the care given to the reptiles. A large majority of the enclosures were undersized, particularly those meant for large snakes. Not to mention the lack of places for animals to hide! A good chunk of the animals indoors either didn't have hides or had ones that only partially covered them. It was especially noticeable with an aggressive (though they call it "nervous") eastern diamondback, which had a partial blockade to prevent people from getting too close and a sign cautioning against getting near, since it might ram the glass and hurt itself. The problem? This obviously stressed animal didn't have anywhere to conceal itself. I can only imagine it's because this place wants its reptiles to be visible for guests, valuing that more than the happiness of their animals. In addition, I noticed some enclosures were lacking in substrate, leaving their animals walking on the metal surface. Not as bad as the aforementioned issues, but still not great. Wouldn't recommend, I left feeling sad.
翻译:爬行动物种类繁多,足够你逛上一阵子。问题在于它们受到的照料。绝大多数饲养箱都太小了,尤其是那些原本是给大型蛇类准备的。更别提动物们缺乏躲藏的地方了!很多室内饲养的动物要么没有躲藏处,要么躲藏处只能部分遮挡。这一点在一条具有攻击性(尽管他们称之为“胆小”)的东部菱背响尾蛇身上尤为明显。这条蛇被部分遮挡,以防止人们靠近,旁边还立着一块警示牌,提醒人们不要靠近,因为它可能会撞到玻璃上受伤。问题是,这条明显处于紧张状态的蛇根本没有地方可以躲藏。我只能猜测,这家店这样做是为了让游客能够看到它们的爬行动物,而把这一点看得比动物的幸福更重要。此外,我还注意到一些饲养箱里缺少垫材,导致动物只能在金属表面上行走。虽然没有前面提到的问题那么严重,但也仍然令人失望。不推荐这家店,离开的时候我很失望。
