Tragic fire breaks out at Reptile Gardens
(Cindy Steinle) - Friday, Nov 21, 2025



The "Wrestle a Gator" educational show at Reptile Gardens from when Cindy visited. Herper Approved.


Reptile Gardens had a tragic overnight fire in one of their off display buildings that impacted all of their American Alligators from their educational program as well as their African Spur Thigh Tortoises and their Red Foot Tortoises, their other giant tortoises are houses in a different building for winter and are safe. Long time members of the site might remember that Reptile Gardens hosts me for a week several years back for an amazing behind the scenes experience that I was able to share with all of you, including sharing their tortoises and alligators and their show. You can see the photos here.

Our hearts at kingsnake are with the entire team at Reptile Gardens, most of all currator of animals Terry Phillip. You can feel the love he has for the animals he cares for in his statement. We have included it after the bump. Continue reading "Tragic fire breaks out at Reptile Gardens"
