Q:
I saw on your photos of your daily critter a snake, are there a ton of reptiles at this facility? If there are, is there a way to go around them? I have anxiety attacks around them. Thanks.
A:
There's not a ton of them, but the map they give you upon entering should help you avoid the reptiles that you don't wish to encounter. There's sooo many other things to enjoy while there.

You can also ask the many staffers that are walking and helping with questions where they are to help you avoid them but your husband can view. They really aren’t all over the place like someone else said there aren’t very many of them. I think you will enjoy what they have.

As far as activities are concerned, you cannot beat Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While the big resorts are going to cost a significant amount during the summer, there are lots of condo complexes with individual owners and property management who can provide a much more reasonable rate. Consider calling properties where the condos are individually owned and ask if they have any last minute deals. Often times, owners give property managers advanced permission to sell their condo at half the cost if it has not rented.
