The Edisto Island Serpentarium is dedicated to preserving and teaching about reptiles from around the world. Exhibits feature alligators, turtles, lizards, and snakes. Visitors will love searching for baby alligators and slithery snakes in the site’s lush, tropical atrium. Inside the showroom, replicas of natural habitats feature a variety of reptiles, including venomous and non-venomous snakes. Outside, the Green Pond houses over twenty adult alligators, while “Alligator Alley” is home to younger adults and smaller alligators. Youth alligators born and raised at the venue reside in the Nursery Pond. Daily shows teach about reptile identification, adaptations, and the role of reptiles in the ecosystem. Live feedings are presented daily. The Serpentarium hosts field trips and educational outreach programs.
