Education and conservation is our mission....

 

 

Reptilandia-Reptile Lagoon has the largest and most diverse presentation of reptiles and amphibians located in the stunning Hill Country of Texas. We pride ourselves in applying scientific knowledge vital to the conservation of animals, plants, and habitats around the world. With  8 distinct biomes you can observe these fascinating animals in our incredible, spacious exhibits showcasing naturalistic enclosures and mixed-species exhibits. The temperature controlled building  allows for a comfortable visit. Wheel-chair accessible paths allow for everyone to enjoy this incredible facility and educational programs being offered. We regularly carry out research with our captive reptile and amphibian populations to answer key questions on their management and biology and how we can conserve these animals better in the wild.

"Zoos are necessary because they bring together and educate the community, providing an understanding of the interconnectedness of animals and their habitats, conduct conservation programs of animals in the wild and captive facilities. This  includes breeding programs to help sustain fragile populations in captivity that are in dire need of conservation and protection in the wild."  -  Thornton W. Blease
