Recs for Herping Activites for Young Kids in New Mexico
Hello!
My 6yo son is very into reptiles (specifically snakes) and wants to be a herpetologist. We are planning a trip to New Mexico in the Spring from the East Coast. We will be in ABQ, Santa Fe, and Taos. We will definitely visit the Rattlesnake Museum in ABQ, but hoping for other reptile recs in the area that are good for kids. I also have a 3yo daughter who likes animals a lot and a baby, who hasn't formed an opinion on account of being 4 months old.
I would love to take them on some kid-friendly hikes where we might see some snakes and other desert wildlife. We've watched a ton of herping videos on Instagram and I know they would especially love if there was some kind of guided hike or talk with an expert we could take part in where we could see reptiles in the wild. Thanks!
