The earth is home to over 2,700 species of snakes.  Unfortunately no other group of animals has suffered such misunderstanding and persecution as the snakes.  Approximately 20% of the species of snakes in the world are venomous.   This leaves approximately 80% that pose little, or no threat to people. 

The fact is people are the ones that pose the greatest risk to snakes.  The world over, snakes are killed for their skins, to be eaten as food, or just out of pure ignorance on the part of an uninformed person.

RainForest Adventures is home to over 100 species of snakes. 

Our Collection changes on a regular basis to ensure repeat visitors to the Rain Forest are seeing new and exciting creatures all the time!   Baby snakes at RainForest are generally born (or hatched) from approximately mid March through late August of each year.   

Be sure to sit in the front row of our daily shows for your chance to get up close and personal with some of these amazing snakes!
