I remember when I was a kid going to Village aquarium on rt9 in Latham and them having the craziest shit there. Frogs that ate pinky mice, African cats, crazy ass monkey that used to throw its shit at you, crazy snake and reptile selection etc… Any place fairly local like this still exist??? ---

Eddie’s Aquarium on Rt. 9 is pretty cool but go on a hot day and you’ll smell like the dump for three weeks. ---

I’ve been there a bunch of times and its great for fish, but I’m looking for a place that has some exotic/cool animals with a wide variety. ---

Petco by Wolf/ off Central had tortoises last time I was there, but that was months ago. Not sure if they rotate what “exotic” animals they have. Pet store here in Cobleskill, used to have cool stuff sometimes, but same deal, I havent been there in awhile, and Im sure there is something closer to you. What is that pet place on Wolf, on the right if youre headed north… I think it was anyways. ---

anybody else remember the guy with all kinds of different animals that used to come to elementary schools? He was missing parts of a few fingers due to them being bitten off. I remember he had a huge frog and it pissed all over when he picked it up. He also had snakes, tarantulas, an armadillo and a bunch of other animals. ---
