About Pure Venom Reptile Park
If you’re on holiday with kids along the Hibiscus Coast drive them
straight to Pure Venom Reptile Park.
Here they can eyeball some of the most fearsome and venomous snakes on the
planet; count all 70 teeth of a crocodile and stroke the scales of an iguana.
If you’re brave enough you can even have your mug shot taken while holding a
python, mamba, cobra or viper!
The park is situated on an old estate in Izotsha near Shelly Beach. The
beautiful grounds are graced by enormous wild olive trees that date back to the
1800s.
Publicized as the biggest reptile farm in Africa, it is home to an awesome
collection of indigenous and exotic reptiles. This includes nine species of
rattlesnake, the largest variation of this species outside the USA, and five
species of crocodile. The highly threatened giant sungazer lizard breeds here
and you might even witness the mating and courtship rituals of gaboon vipers,
boomslang and mambas.
Kids big and small will be thrilled as they get up close and personal with
numerous snakes, iguanas and crocodiles. Pure Venom Reptile Park also presents
an interesting educational experience. Here you will find out funky facts about
snakes including the fact that egg-eating snakes have teeth in their necks and
mole snakes have up to ninety five babies!
Guided tours and snake demonstrations are on offer daily. Don’t miss witnessing
the fascinating spectacle of crocodiles and alligators being fed on
Sundays.
