American International Rattlesnake Museum, Albuquerque

I heard about this place on the Late, Late Show with TV's Craig Ferguson (sp?) I thought it'd be a quirky thing to do while in Albuquerque, kind of like going to the wax museum. After trying for several days, I finally talked my wife into going. It wasn't quirky at all. According to my wife, "it was tastefully done". We are both glad we went as it was quite educational and fascinating at the same time. I like the idea of being able to stare at a snake without the fight or flight sydrome kicking in. In addition to the snakes, they have all sorts of desert creepy crawlies, ie; Scorpians, Gila Monsters, Horned Lizards, Tarantulas etc. This is a must see for desert campers so they can tell whether they need to panic or not after being bitten by something in their sleeping bag. Incidently, since the overview of the business was written, the admission price has doubled to $4 for adults...but still worth it.
