Luray Zoo pictures!

[Steven]

Hey everyone,
Me and my friend Jessie(Jman), went to the Luray Zoo here in VA, near the Luray Caverns for our Richmond Herp and Bug Society(RHBS) field trip. Its a rescue zoo so everything there was a rescue confiscated from somone or someone dropped it off. It was an awesome experience and I'm happy I got some pictures! Oh and on the way there we saved a box turtle and a juvie snapper off the road! Pretty cool stuff!
Now I don't know what a LOT of these things are so I might say what some things are but if I dont name something, it probably means I don't know what it is=D But many of the snake pictures are rattle snakes, not all of them though.

Hey Steven

They are Great Pictures and isn’t that what you want to open when you get older?
I love the design on I believe the python or boa, but I do not know if it is or not?

Patrick
I love the pic of the Rhino man Just think Bronx will get that big OH BOY!!!

WOW Steven
Thanks for sharing those great pics of the rescue zoo. That's pretty neat that they take in rescues. I enjoyed them very much.

[Steven]

Yeah, Patrick that is what I want to do! I want to open a rescue/zoo/vet center place for exotics since I'm going to school to be an exotic vet, I think it will be awesome if I'm able to do that someday!

I also enjoyed the pictures very much, and that would be a great thing to open when you get older It is hard to beleive that people got and couldn't take care of some beautiful animals. I wish people would really do what is good for the animal and do reserch before they get an animal.

That looks like a great place to visit and I'm glad you liked the place too

Steph

P.S. Hope some of those names helped, I searched and put the name of the majority of photos the described and looked like that snake.
