You may have seen a snake exhibit or two at the zoo, but the odds are good that you've never seen anything quite like the Serpentarium , a unique facility home to hundreds of snakes, turtles, alligators, lizards, and other reptiles.

The exhibits have been specially designed to give visitors the thrill of spotting reptiles in their natural habitat, and instead of being kept behind glass walls, most of the reptiles are kept in low-walled enclosures filled with trees, streams, and rocks.

There is also an indoor showroom where visitors can marvel at tropical snakes that change color to blend in with their surroundings.
