We all know the rhyme, the one that has caused consternation to many an experienced herper but is just so catchy it sticks around. Red touch yellow, kill a fellow, red touch black, venom lack. Variations occur, but all of them are equally flawed. Plenty of highly venomous coral snakes across the western hemisphere fail to pay heed to that little saying, how rude.

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.

This Pied Bearded Dragon in our herp photo of the day uploaded by kingsnake.com user dragomlover was originally bred by Liz at Satyrday Reptiles. I hit the wayback machine in our photo gallery for this one. As far as the notes on the photo say, it was unknown if this one was ever bred, but did not appear to have been.

kingsnake.com has always been about the community. Heck, we are the one who coined the phrase reptile community, eschewing the original "reptile nation" and avoiding using industry because we are more than just breeders! The community makes us.
Logically, we want to hear your feedback.
