 Care Sheets and the Reptiles That Make the Best Pets

 

Reptilia's care sheets are written by our staff writing group. The information therein represents the latest knowledge on the reptiles and amphibians we sell and how we look after them. The care sheets are an indication of the animal's suitability as a pet and the basics of its care.

  

  

 Reptilia's Position on the Environment

Our Give Back Program For the International Community

As mankind increases its land consumption for both agrarian and urban uses, the consequence is the reduction of natural habitat which once served as homes for wildlife including those of the reptile clan.  In simple terms, when animals and reptiles lose their ‘feeding range’ they lose their ability to survive, and are forced to attempt to live in areas taken over by humanity's growth.

Reptilia's Curriculum Compliant Programs

Reptilia's writing group wrote curriculum compliant programs for the Life Strands Section of the Ontario Ministry of Education Science and Technology Curriculum in 1998 when the Ontario Curriculm was standardized across the Province.  Since that time, Reptilia's Educators have provided enrichment through the use of live reptiles to teach not only this curriculum, but to enhance literacy and numeracy components as well.  In the more than 3,000 education community clients across Southern Ontario for whom we have the pleasure of teaching, our programs are repeated year after year.  

 

From Kindergarten through to Grade 12, experience our curriculum compliant education programs in your classroom. Your students will enjoy and more importantly learn and remember this unique enrichment program because of the live reptile in attendance.

 Reptile Zoo Extraordinare - 25,000 Square Feet of Nothing But Reptiles

Live Theatre or Keeper Tours on the Hour and Feedings Every Day

 

Note:  We Never Feed Live Prey Items & Strongly Suggest This to Everyone in Our Field

Croc Feeding - Last Sunday of Every Month at 1:45 PM 

Induna and Nandi, our Nile Crocodiles, are fed the last Sunday of every month.  Although Induana weighs about 1,200 lbs, he eats far less than the average adult male.  In fact, the adult male will eat about 10 times as much for each pound of body weight as the Nile Crocodile.  But when the Nile eats, it really is something to see.  You probably have seen it on TV - now join us to see one of our keepers right in with the Crocs.  Bone crushing jaws - huge teeth and lots of them - and hunting the keeper all the time he is in the exhibit.  Join us on Sunday for a very close up and personal croc feeding.   

See Canada's Largest Venomous Snake - A Spectacular King Cobra

Reptilia's King Cobra was just over 13 feet in length when he arrived two years ago.  Now he is (we think) over 14 feet.  Watch for the date to be announced when we will offically measure him again.  As well, Reptilia has 

acquired a beautiful mate for him - a female King Cobra with high orange on the throat clearly visible when she hoods.  We are hopeful of mating these Kings sometime early in the 2010.  If King Cobras are your favourite snake, watch for our announcement of the date when we introduce them and you can watch either in person or on our live streaming in-exhibit camera.

Welcome to Reptilia

Welcome to our zoo.  Join us to get up really close to our massive Crocs, King Cobras, Black Mambas, Giant Pythons, and a host of other reptiles.  For those who do not care too much for snakes, please remember that everything is behind thick tempered glass and we have not lost a person yet!!!!!!  In fact, you can walk through the zoo and barely notice the snakes, if need be.

 

Education Programs at Our Facility

Reptilia's facility has 6 classrooms with a capacity of up to 50 students each.  School buses drop students here for a half day of programs, feedings, keeper talks, theatre, and zoo tours.  We look forward to hearing from you and providing curriculum based programs for your students.  A brief video of the facility can be viewed by clicking here.

  

Crocodilian Eggs!

Watch one of our eepers collect Cayman eggs. These eggs were successfully hatched in one of Reptilia's incubators.

 

  

Canada's Largest Venomous Snake

When we received our large male King Cobra two years ago he was already the largest venemous snakes in Canada.  This is a video of him as he was officially measured at an event for our Annual Members and documented in the National Post at 13 feet 1 inch in length.

 

Croc Feeding!

Induna is Canada's largest crocodile. Despite size, crocs do not eat very often - going even 6 months or more between meals.  Our live crocodile feedings are a great opportunity to see these massive predators in action. 

They eat at 1:45 PM on the last Sunday of each month.  See related story in the zoo box just above.
