I haven't posted here in a while, for which I apologize. Raven is doing really good, she's been very active and friendly the past couple months! I got some good pics of her taking a bath:

A week or two ago I went to the zoo. I was with family and it was super busy, so I didn't get as many chances for photos as in the past. Here's what I got:

Thanks 4 bearing with me through the randomness. I'm supposed to go to the zoo again in a week or two, hopefully I'll get better pics then. :)

Nice pics, all of them!! Thanks for sharing. That little owl is adorable... who's our owl fan on here? Anji I think?

And nice glasses, they look really good on you!!!

I'm liking those new glasses Allison.... I'm getting new readers next Wednesday.
Raven is looking really well. It's nice to see you back here.

[anji1971]

Yes, it's Anji who also likes owls. They're cool creatures!
Nice pictures -- Raven looks great, and your new glasses do too!:)

Good pics, nice glasses. I was at the zoo not to long ago and it is a major pain getting pics when your with a bunch of people and kids.

Welcome back, Allison.
I like best the photos of the giraffe,
that looks like an ample habitat.
Glasses could be so nice as I see...
if you don´t have to clean them all the time.

[drache]

good to see you, Allison - and Raven too
you both look well and I like the glasses
nice zoo pics

[mycolorfulheart]

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I was hesitant about the glasses 'cause i've never had big chunky ones before but i'm loving em!

[Stefan-A]

Well, they definitely suit you. :)

What do you have to pay for entrance on a zoo in the US?
I´m a real zoo fan although only two German zoos showing Garters.
Not only according to the size of the zoo fee is from 3,50 up to 25 € for an adult.

here are the rates for two of the biggest

SanDiegoZoo.org: Buy Tickets and Book Hotels Online (http://www.sandiegozoo.org/tickets/index.html)
Hours & Rates (http://www.bronxzoo.com/plan-your-trip/hours-and-rates.aspx)

in NY we can get a membership to the wildlife conservation society that gives us admission to four zoos and the aquarium, plus discounts
many of the special exhibits cost extra admission

smaller zoos generally charge from around five dollars up, I think

I don't believe I have ever seen a garter snake in a US Zoo

Here you can see offspring from the brood of Ferry van Straelen:

I used to that zoo ten years ago - don't remember the garters
it was there though I was once in close proximity to a very angry tiger and it was memorable - quite

My god, that tetra is fat!
