South Dakota Vacation: Reptile Gardens



The Reptile Gardens in Rapid City is world-renowned for their collection of exotic reptiles, insects, tropical birds, and fossils. We got to see a 15-foot, 1,100 lb. crocodile named "Maniac," and Allie got to touch a baby "Allie-Gator." They also have a very impressive display of poisonous snakes, including the most deadly snake on earth, the Inland Taipan "Fierce Snake." (pictured) Our favorite part was getting to pet a giant 120-year-old tortoise named Methuselah.
