Handling

Our animals are bred in captivity and are great handlers but they are still wild animals therefore we do not promote handling, for the safety of the public and to lessen any stress on our animals.

Handling is great but it does go against everything that we are doing for our native wildlife. Although having the chance to handle a snake may be an eye opening experience, it would not be fair on our animals being passed around from one set of hands to another.

Useful information

  • All spiders and creepy crawlies will remain in there enclosures at all times.
