See Canada's Largest Venomous Snake

On December 15th, Reptilia's new king cobra went on display for the public.  He was officially measured at an event for our Annual Members on December 14th and documented in the National Post at 13 feet 1 inch in length.    Reptilia now has the largest crocodile in Canada and the largest venomous snake.  [National Post Article] [watch video]

A Meal Fit for a King

King cobras are snake eaters.  Finding a specimen that feeds on anything other than snakes is a difficult task; however, we managed to find just such an animal.  His exhibit has been open to the public since December 15th and he's adjusted well.  Our primary concern was with stress levels associated with being on display.  Now that we have fed him a few times late in the evening when the zoo is quiet, we are ready to add our king cobra to the regular feeding rotation.  He is fed Saturdays at 11:45 PM.  Watch this week's video and get an idea of what to expect.  The video is over 8 Mb and will take some time to load.
