1. Guessing Swans -
They're the only animals I haven't seen at any of the shelters around here. I've seen Emus, Alpacas and Llamas at the Helen Woodward shelter over the years.

7. I was shocked too
Who has the ponds and the square footage here in OC where the yards are measured in square feet rather than partial acres...

8. snakes?
I'm guessing they don't get many, and there might be a specialized reptile rescuer who handles them.

13. Reptiles need specialized care.
My Dad used to have a burmese python. Snakes are expensive to care for, with all the extra lights, vitamins, fuzzy critters to eat, etc.

14. I had 2 boa constrictors for several years.
They aren't all that expensive to care for. The only problem was getting live mice and rats to feed them. And they certainly didn't need vitamins.

And you saw some of those?

How about snakes?

Must have been some interesting animal shelter!

12. It was the OC animal shelter
According to the tour guide, the OC animal shelter is the largest shelter west of the Mississippi River.

:wow:

No snakes...
