Exhibits and Displays

The focal point of this facility is the "snake wall," featuring eight species of native snakes in natural habitats: Timber Rattlesnake, Northern Copperhead, Northern Water Snake, Milk Snake, Eastern Kingsnake, Northern Pine Snake, Corn Snake and Black Rat Snake. In addition, there are informative displays on snakes, including a "much-larger-than-life" rattlesnake.

Amphibians are also represented, with a unique display in which visitors look for salamanders in appropriate habitats. The southern Appalachian region is a salamander hotspot: nowhere else in the world are there so many different species.

This building has a spacious classroom as well as a facility for food preparation for the various animal habitats in the park.

The Herpetarium is open on weekends from 1 PM - 5 PM and daily during mid-summer.
