You will get to watch experienced keepers carefully collect venom from some of Australia’s most dangerous snakes and learn how this important work helps save lives. The demonstration includes an easy-to-understand talk about the Australian Reptile Park’s antivenom program, how snake venom is collected, and how it is used to help create lifesaving antivenom.
You will also discover what venom does, why different snakes have different types of venom, and how keepers work safely with these incredible animals every day.
