Snake Farm

Madison loved this little baby llama! We ended up with several pics with her and this llama! I don't know why it was here without any other llamas. It did have some company with the chickens/rooster that flew in and with turtles and ducks.

Madison and I feeding the goat. This goat got mostly all of our two baggies of food because it would head butt anything that it thought would get 'her' food. Mean old goat! There were also some pigs in the petting zoo too, but we just threw some of the feed on the ground for them. We did go inside, but as soon as the goats figured out we had food for them we started getting jumped on and were surrounded by 'hungry' animals! So we got out and stayed where it was safe...on the other side of the fence.

One of the peacocks that were there.


Madison and I posing where the zebras, longhorns, deer, and other animals called home.

Turtle sex 101! Leave it up to me to take a picture of it!






Today we went to the Snake Farm in New Braunsfel! It was the spur of the moment idea and left the house early afternoon, but got stuck in that wonderful Austin traffic several times. We finally got to our destination about 4:30 pm. I wasn't expecting to be in traffic that much, but what can you do...Madison took her nap in the car so I was happy for that! They had every kind of snake imaginable there at this 'farm'! Dummy me didn't take one picture of the snakes! I didn't think much of it until we were practically home from the trip! It's hard to take good pictures when every species is behind glass and a cage! They had a little petting zoo area where for $1 a bag you can feed the animals that were in the petting zoo-goats, pigs, and chickens! We first attempted to go into the area where the animals were, but we were bombarded with goats and pigs as soon as they figured we had food to give them-which was even before we got into the gate! When the goats started biting my bag of food before I had it opened and jumping on us....we moved to the outside of the fence!!! From there, Madison fell in love with the baby llama that was so cute and seemed so friendly-but in the back of my mind Germany flashbacks were there with the llama who spit on my mom and ripped her little wooden Holland clog key chain that was on her purse and ate it-so we tried not to linger long! We seen all kinds of different animals and birds. They had hyena's, wolves, monkey of different kinds, turtles, alligators, crocodiles, peacocks, geese, a zebra, some longhorn, some deer, a wort hog, etc. We even got some turtle sex 101! I don't know if I would have even noticed the turtles, except one of the turtles were a little on the loud side with the moans and groans, that I went looking for where the noise was coming from and found the two turtles....loving each other! It was a nice day, and we were done and the rain started to come down-for the short period of time that it rained.
