  • Contains a large collection of reptiles and amphibians from around the world. Some of the highlights include anacondas, gila monsters, cuban crocodiles, Burmese pythons, and native snakes and turtles including cottonmouth moccasins, copperheads, and box turtles. Well known herpetologists have worked here including Trooper Walsh, Dr. James Murphy, and others. The building is very old and is considered an historical location; it has some of the finest carvings and inlaid tile in the zoo.
