First off I will say that out guide was very informative , and the place is lovely. We went on a 3 hour tour of the sanctuary and he explained everything in detail. However, when I emailed them to ask if they had hands on encounters I was advised by Christy that the tour is very interactive. I was looking forward to holding some of the safer reptiles.
I waited patiently and once the tour was over , all we got to do was feed the tortoises and pet a monitor lizard. No snake holding , nothing like the pictures you see on Yelp.
Maybe they did not have one to be held, but the main purpose I went was to hold and interact with the reptiles. It was quite the let down.
