Say hello to the Kangaroo Island Kangaroo – a unique subspecies of the Western Grey Kangaroo! 🦘

Known for their shorter, stockier build and chocolate-brown fur, these gentle grazers are only found on Kangaroo Island. They spend their days relaxing in the shade or nibbling on grasses in our open reserve.

🧡🐊 Lunchtime with a legend! 🐊🧡
Our daily Crocodile Feeding Show kicks off at 12:30pm - and it's not one to miss (just don't stand too close to the splash zone! 😅).
Watch these prehistoric predators leap, lunge, and show off their incredible power as our keepers feed them and share all their fascinating croc facts.

📸 Snap a pic, learn something wild, and maybe even meet some of our scalier friends after the show!
📅 Every day at 12:30pm (closed Wednesdays)

🦎 Say g’day to Barney - our beautiful Mangrove Monitor! 🌿

With his sleek scales, long tongue, and sharp intelligence, Barney is one clever lizard. Native to northern Australia and nearby islands, mangrove monitors are skilled climbers, swimmers, and hunters - and Barney is no exception!

He’s always out and about exploring his enclosure and keeping a close eye on what’s going on around him. Guests love watching him show off during our daily talks!

Come meet Barney and learn more about this fascinating species on your next visit 🖤💚

🐊 Meet Louie, our resident American alligator! 🐊

He might look fierce, but Louie is a calm and curious guy who loves the spotlight. After each of our reptile shows at 10:30am and 1pm, guests have the rare chance to pat a real live alligator - and yes, it's always a crowd favourite!

This is your chance to get up close with one of the most impressive reptiles on the planet and learn all about what makes alligators so unique 🐊💚

Don’t miss out - Louie loves visitors (and the attention)!

It’s a great way to get up close with these Aussie icons and create some unforgettable memories (and photo ops 📸😉).

Come say g’day to our hoppy mates this weekend!

🌿🦎 Say hello to Taba - our stunning Fijian Crested Iguana! 🦎🌿

With her vibrant green scales, striking white bands, and laid-back island vibes, Taba is a true tropical treasure. This beautiful species is critically endangered, found only on a few remote Fijian islands, and we're so lucky to have her here at Snakes Downunder.

Taba plays an important role in educating visitors about the importance of conservation - and she always manages to steal the spotlight! 💚

Be sure to stop by and see her on your next visit - she loves to pose for the camera 📸
