Colorado Gator Farm staff, family members and community well-wishers celebrated the grand opening of the new reptile barn there with a ribbon cutting Friday morning. Owner Jay Young is shown in the middle holding a sign. The new barn replaces the previous reptile building that was destroyed in a horrific fire on April 18, 2023, killing more than 100 reptiles including numerous snakes, turtles, tortoises, caiman, and others.
