Black mambas, spitting cobras and puff adders ain't things you want to come across in the wild, so fortunately they're all here to see behind the safety of glass. The impressive reptile selection comprises mainly African snakes (with a few from other parts of the world), some of them you're able to hold for that photo op. Visit at 2.30pm for feeding time.
