  • EPISODE 115
    After going from zoo to zoo across America, one of the negative aspects that really stands out, other than the dropping population of rare animals, is many reptile houses are all virtually the same. Exhibit after exhibit of the same cookie cutter terrarium. In 2015, Zoo Atlanta went against the crowd and added a twist to the idea of a reptile house with SCALY, SLIMY, AND SPECTACULAR - the channel's first standalone herpetarium. Instead of a couple hallways, the zoo dedicated a third of an acre isolated campus to reptiles and amphibians. The two building complex boasts over 100 animals, from over 70 species displayed in over 60 indoor and outdoor environments - each beautifully crafted to rival any herp exhibit put there. It goes without saying, as soon as the zoo opened the Scaly, Slimy, and Spectacular's doors, is became one of the premiere reptile and amphibian exhibits in the United States.

    Hey, Georgia Extremes is open again! It was closed due to Covid concerns or something when I was there last summer. I'd seen it before, back when it opened, though.
    Anyway, SSS is a very nice building with a solid lineup of species. The big constrictors are impressively large, as is the alligator snapping turtle; it's too bad you missed him.
    Looking forward to seeing the Ford African Rainforest next time! That's probably the best section of the zoo, in this reviewer's humble opinion.

    Boring compared to what it once was. They had multiple alligators, crocodiles, gharial...all in huuuuge pools, with an eerie tropical greenhouse type glow and sky lights to keep them warm/humid. Tons of tarantulas, vipers, water moccasins....even had a few wandering spiders...black widows, brown recluses, wolf spiders....emperor scorpions, desert scorpions, centipedes, millipedes... then they spend nearly 20 million on some overdone rock formations and 60 or 70% of the exhibits they used to have. Some of us want to see crazy poisonous crap besides the token poison dart frogs that all the exhibits have everywhere else. Absolute bore and never going back to Atlanta Zoo again - waste of time and money, and now it is just a cash grab, much like the terrible excuse for an aquarium in ATL.

One question though, I went to Cincy the other day and they were finally revocation the bear hill, they are ripping the walls down like you predicted, but do you think they will renovate the underwater area too?
