Just picked these guys up the other day! Spiny Soft shell turtles: Megatron and Bumblebee. (Bumblebee is hiding) Fun fact they have a soft shell that allows them to move much faster on land than most turtles!

We recently visited Sioux Falls over the weekend and toured the new Reptile Adventure Zoo. It is definitely a must-see attraction for families and adults alike. The zoo offers a highly educational and interactive experience, featuring an impressive array of reptiles. We also had the opportunity to relocate Cthulhu, a black throat monitor, Arlo, an American alligator, and Beetlejuice, a California king snake, to the zoo to assist the staff in educating visitors. Additionally, we attended the reptile expo, where vendors showcased their expertise in educating prospective pet owners.
