Featured on such networks as PBS and the Discovery Channel, Serpent Safari’s creature curators care for a trove of reptiles and amphibians, including rare and record-holding specimens sourced from all over the world. Knowledgeable guides lead 30-minute tours of swampy habitats containing 28 rare animals, such as an albino alligator, a 150-year-old alligator snapping turtle, and a 380-pound Burmese python, crowned by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest snake and best cuddle buddy. Finds such as a Sumatran dragon, caiman lizard, and nile crocodile bask in their steamy shelters, beneath hanging fronds and warming lights. Once the tour is complete, guests pose with their choice of a live snake or desert tortoise for 8”x10” digital photographs.
