>>I'm looking for good zoos for herps in about 400 miles of Amarillo. The wife and I like to take a short trip (3-5 days) once a year or so to any place within about a 4-5 hour drive. I can't turn these into full fledged herping trips (so says SWMBO) but I can certainly insist on a trip to whatever zoo is nearby. So far we've done Roswell and Albuqurque (which is a pretty neat zoo). I'm thinking Ft. Worth/Dallas has a good zoo too, but are there any I'm missing? I'm thinking like OK, NM, central TX, maybe southern Colorado, maybe southern Kansas...
I think Fort Worth has the best zoo in Texas....
And...I haven't checked out Albuquerque, NM yet....Sounds like we'll have to check it out....
San Antonio Zoo has a great snake room, but it isn't as good as it used to be....Plus it is best to go to San Antonio in the fall or spring, because it is brutally hot in the summer....
The main reason we enjoyed the Fort Worth zoo was the fact they had lots of shade.....LOL

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
