We stopped by the rattlesnake museum on the 4th of July weekend. It has been revamped and cleaned up a lot since our 4th of July trip two years ago. There are dozens of cages filled with rattlesnakes and other fascinating creatures. Might not be a good destination for Grandma or Aunt Betty. Overall a fun stop, and the guy running the place will answer your questions.

Rattlers and Reptiles is a small museum with an amazing and well displayed collection of live rattlesnakes and other desert animals. The proprietor, Buzz Ross, has every species of rattlesnake plus a good variety of tarantulas, other snake species, and a few other animals. He speaks knowledgeably and entertainingly about his experiences finding, observing, and raising snakes and other animals.
