Indian River
Reptile Zoo is unique in Canada and is one of the
most modern and exciting specialized animal centres
in the world! Here you can see snakes, lizards,
monitors, alligators, turtles, crocodiles, and even
special guest animals such as monkeys and more! The
animals are housed in state of the art, climate
controlled facilities which were specifically
designed to house reptiles.
We established the zoo in 1999, and have been putting on educational presentations and displays for over 20 years. In 2000, we were first accredited by the Canadian Association of Zoos & Aquariums (CAZA) and have remained accredited since that time. We are a non-profit charity. Our charity number is: 80522 2253 RR0001
We run Certification Courses for the Identification, Safety and Handling and First Aid of Reptiles which was designed by Indian River Reptile Zoo in association with Environment Canada, Enforcement Division and has been taught to many Federal Wildlife Officers from all provinces and territories.
Many of the animals at Indian River Reptile Zoo have been rescued from the pet trade. This includes confiscations by the Federal Government of Canada, Human Societies, Animal Controls, or people simply donating their pet because they can no longer accommodate it. We also acquire animals from others major zoos around the world. We do NOT take animals from the wild; and, we do NOT buy or sell reptiles.
