Visitors to WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo can get up close and personal with lizards and pythons – some of the wild’s most misunderstood and yet amazing creatures – this weekend in celebration of Reptile Awareness Day.
Over two days – Saturday 24 October and Sunday 25 October – the zoo will take some of its reptile friends out of their habitats for one-hour meet and greet sessions during which guests can enjoy up-close encounters with these incredible creatures.
Guests can get photos next to a lizard or snap selfies beside a python. They can take home a few fun facts about the scaly creatures and ZooKeepers will also debunk common misconceptions around reptiles.
“How often do you get to safely come face-to-face with a beautiful and powerful python? It’s certainly not every day,” said Stephanie Adams, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo Guest Experience Manager.
“We are looking forward to giving our visitors the chance to make extraordinary memories with our resident reptiles in a safe environment.”
Meet and greets with reptiles will take place on Saturday and Sunday between 10:30-11:30am, 12:30-1:30pm and 2:30-3:30pm. ZooKeepers will handle all animals during the allocated periods.
