The Venom Pitt will be taking a little breather this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) for some well-deserved annual maintenance. Even our slithery friends need a tune-up now and then!

🐣✨ 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁!

The Venom Pit family just got a little more adorable, our bantams have welcomed a brood of pure white baby chicks! They're tiny, chirpy, and already ruling the roost with cuteness. 💛
You need to make a plan to come and meet these feathery darlings and see why the coop’s never been so cozy.

🧡🐍 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻! 🐍🧡

Something amazing is happening at Venom Pit Snake Park—it's time for our 𝗨𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 to find love! 💌

👉 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 #𝟭: The Uracoan rattlesnake is native to Venezuela and is known for its beautiful pattern and gentle nature (don’t worry—they only rattle when they feel threatened!).

👉 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 #𝟮: During mating season, the males do a special “combat dance”—they raise their bodies and sway side to side, almost like a snake ballet, to impress the females. No biting, just charm!

👉 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 #𝟯: After mating, mom snakes carry their babies in eggs inside their bodies, and give birth to live little rattlesnakes—no egg-laying here!

🎉 Join us this school holiday to learn more about these fascinating creatures, see them up close (safely!), and enjoy our live snake shows, adventures, and loads of kid-friendly surprises. 🌟
