Removed from Unnamed collection

The Alice Springs Reptile Centre is the ultimate destination for anyone fascinated by creatures that slither and hiss. It's the place to see those rare and elusive reptiles you wouldn't want to stumble upon in the wild. With over 100 reptiles on display, the center does an incredible job of showcasing its residents in settings that mirror their natural habitats.

One of the highlights is the Gecko Cave, where you can check out the many species of these small, shy lizards native to areas like Alice Springs, the Barkly Tablelands, and the Top End. And don't miss Terry, the resident saltwater crocodile. You can view him through an underground glass window that offers a fascinating glimpse into his aquatic world, perfect for snapping some cool photos. Plus, you'll encounter enormous goannas like the Perentie, the dramatic frill-neck lizards, and the quirky, desert-dwelling thorny devils.

If you're feeling brave, you can even handle a python or watch the lizards during feeding time. The center is also home to some of the world's most venomous snakes, including the Inland Taipan, Brown Snake, Death Adder, and Mulga (King Brown) snake, all safely displayed behind glass. The center is a must-visit for anyone curious about Australia's incredible reptile life. And here's a fun fact: Alice Springs is known for its unique desert landscapes, which provide a natural backdrop for these amazing creatures.
