Reptiles & Amphibians

Cotswold Wildlife Park has one of the largest reptile collections in the UK.

We house one of the largest snake species – Green anacondas, and also one of the most venomous – the Puff adder. We regularly breed our Morelet’s crocodiles, the only collection in Europe that has bred this species.

Recently, we set up an initiative with the Seychelle Islands and received an Aldabran Giant Tortoise as a gift from their government. There is also an excellent collection of smaller lizards, snakes, frogs and invertebrates.
