Reptiles and Rocks

Reptile Gardens is located across the road from Happy Holiday Campground where we are staying in Rapid City.  They have an assortment of some of the world's most interesting snakes.  They also have some other interesting reptiles as well as some beautiful birds.

GEODES

Reptile Gardens has a fantastic rock and mineral shop together with their typical wares which appeal to children.  Among them are these fantastic amethyst and citrine geodes.  One of the specimens (the one behind my cap--for scale) has a price tag on it of $8,000.
