Bob Jenni

My dad went on many Rattle Snake Roundups he used to sponsor. Great stories from that time. We also got the pleasure of visiting the bait and tackle shop he'd opened at I35 and 2nd St. Always impressive!

I've been cleaning old keepsakes from my in-law's home and found a big Bob Jenni Reptile Coloring Book (35 cents back in the day). Only a few pages were actually colored on. I'll hold for a little while in case anyone is interested in having it. I can be located via Facebook or LinkedIn.

So sorry to read of his passing. Met Mr. Jenni at the zoo in the reptile house back in 1962. At the time I was 12 years old. In a corral was tortoises and other turtles and asked him at the time would he sell one particular tortoise . He replied five dollars but could not afford it at the time. Anyway, I always remembered his kindness and love for animals. My sympathy, Logan

I just learned of Bob passing. Sorry for your loss. Like to share a quick story. I´m the person who caught the albino Diamondback Rattlesnake. When I called Bob at the OKC ZOO he couldn´t hardly believe my once in a million find. It was only about 8 inches long at the time (1969). It was the first know albino Diamondback rattlesnake ever caught. I lived in Mooreland but caught it near Quinlan, OK. It was on display at the Zoo until he resigned. He built a reptile garden at his home...

Bob, I still remember your teaching on hot/cold for treating snake bites to us in our Troop! RIP brother!

I used to watch Bob on TV in Oklahoma with all of his reptiles. I believe he used to work at the OKC zoo also. I finally met him & his wife at his Nature Center in Edmond with all their animals they took care of. Bod did what he loved during his life. It was always a pleasure to visit with him during his last years. He will be missed by many.
