I agree but some of the reptile houses on the list have worse enclosures
Best Reptile Houses

Hold your horses! I need to champion the. Reptile House at the Toledo Zoo. One it's an old historical building. But don't let that stop you there. They maintain an excellent collection. A very large saltwater crocodile. The. Tuatara!!! The flying snake, venomous snakes from australia. In the past I have seen file snake aka elephant trunk snake.
@hudson111 Maybe you could put polls out, since there are so many suggestions coming out. For example, a poll titled 'What do you think the #1 spot should be' and number 2 and so on. That way it can be more organized.
Hold on I also forgot heaven forbit the amphibians house with extensive collection and one very large Chinese salamander.
I know the book is twelve years outdated and it's not the same as reptile house, but America's Best Zoos lists the top ten reptile and amphibian collections as
1. San Diego Zoo
2. Detroit Zoo
Runner-ups-
Audubon Zoo
Fort Worth Zoo
Gladys Porter Zoo
Knoxville Zoo
Nashville Zoo
Henry Doorly Zoo
Riverbanks Zoo
St. Louis Zoo

How do I make a poll
when you make a thread it will ask if you want to add a poll, if you want you can also put a day to close the poll

yes you have to create a new thread I shouldn't have used the words post that is my fault
Best Reptile Houses here is the link for the poll
I very much disagree here. The Detroit Zoo's reptile house is extremely average. It's a nice enough collection but it's fairly small and the species list isn't anything special.
I feel the same
