After a quarter of a century, Reptile World in Drumheller is closing its doors.
Nearly all its reptiles and amphibians were seized by the SPCA including alligators, pythons, and turtles in distress.
A total of 142 creatures were taken from the aging badlands zoo that just last month announced a $300,000 fundraising campaign.
The popular attraction announced on their Facebook page they would close up shop effective Friday.
“We regret to inform everyone that Reptile World will be closing their doors as of today.
We will keep this page open and continue to post information as we receive it.
We thank everyone for their support, passion, and kind words during this difficult time.
– Dave and staff”
