This state of the art facility is fully air-conditioned, and houses an impressive assortment of the world's snakes. Coiled peacefully in spacious and artfully decorated cages are such species as the giant Green Anaconda, the world's largest snake, which can reach an estimated maximum length of over 37 feet, and the Retriculated Python which rivals the Anaconda in size and occasionally preys on deer.

Many poisonous varieties are also on display including the King Cobra, which may reach 18 feet in length, and is considered by some to be the most intelligent snake. Rattlesnakes, deadly African and Asian vipers, bizarre tree snakes from Madagascar, and lemon yellow Eyelash Vipers are but a few of the many specimens to be observed. This exhibit is considered by many to be one of the best reptile houses in any zoological park.
