Rattlers and Reptiles - Museum in Fort Davis - 1400 State St, USA

Cool roadside attraction in Fort Davis with an impressive rattlesnake collection. The guy that owns the place has nearly all venomous snakes of Texas in his collection along with a good amount of out of state snakes and some inverts. It'll take you about 15 minutes to slowly make your way through the entire collection. The place is a bit tourist-trappy but then again so is almost everything in Fort Davis. Worth a stop if you're passing through town though.

The winter hours are different than the ones posted on Google. The owner left the corrected hours and their number on the door, when we texted they were very responsive. Bring cash for the tickets, my 6yo really enjoyed their snake room.

Very cool place if you like rattlesnakes. Owner wasn't very nice and answered all questions. It's a very small venue but worth a visit if you like rattlesnakes.

Awesome, quirky, a Ft. Davis staple for us. The owner is super knowledgeable and always a good time to conversate with. Last trip in the Mojave was extra spicy which gave me a great opportunity to teach my kid what a defensive stance in a rattle snake looks like. Always worth a stop in to check out the snakes!

We saw this place on google and wanted to check it out. Make sure you have cash we had just enough thankfully but this is a cash only stop. Once we went in we started to look around there was the kids there saying the snakes names and saying they are always cranky it was kind of cute. I dont want to run into a snake anywhere else but they are all so interesting to look at and see the difference between the different kinds. The lady even said there is over 90 snakes/rattlesnakes. We will be bringing our kids by next time we come through Fort Davis

For five bucks this is worth a stop in. I had an hour to burn between dinner and a star party at the observatory. They have a great collection of snakes, spiders and other things to give you nightmares. All the snakes were easy to view. You could probably spend anywhere from 15 min to an hour depending if you just want to look or read every description.

Neat little stop in the small town of Fort Davis. The museum is small but has numerous rattlesnakes and a few spiders. There are signs over each snake giving you information. You will most likely hear the rattles. Don't be surprised if you find a couple that lunge towards the glass at you (usually the smaller ones). The lady at the counter was friendly. The experience would have been more fun if there was more interaction with staff (instead of walking around alone feeling an awkward silence). It was still neat though. Admission was $5 for adults.

Didn't live up to the hype. My review may be biased being born and raised in the desert. But being that we live somewhat close this may have been a spot we visited often. Sorry it just wasn't worth it to me. The room was chilly. I hope the snakes get something more than those tiny enclosures.
