Mambas and pythons are just two of many snakes that reside here. Other scaly friends like alligators, crocodiles, and lizards also call Snake Farm home.

Reptiles aren't the only animals you'll see. In 2007, Snake Farm added "Animal World" to its name and brought in more than 500 different species from all over the world, including pigs, lions camels, and so many others.
