ANIMALS

At Reptile Encounters we believe in inspiring students to take an interest in the natural world. Thus, we will dazzle them with enriching information while they interact with our captive-raised, Australian animals. It’s important to instil respect for nature at an early age while preserving the idea that conservation is necessary in maintaining Australia’s rich wildlife.

Connie - Barking Owl

The Barking Owl feeds on a variety of small to medium sized mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.

Socks & Sandals - Sugar Gliders

Sugar Gliders are marsupials meaning they keep their young in a pouch.

Tortellini - Murray River Turtle

The Murray River Turtle has a clever technique for breathing under water, they can breath through their bottom.

Russell - Shingleback Lizard

You may think it’s unfortunate but the Shingleback lizard appears to have two heads. He uses it as a decoy to confuse other animals.

Boof - Frilled Neck Dragon

One of Australia’s most iconic animals is the Frilled Neck Lizard, famous for their extremely impressive frills which they use to ward off predators.

Tammy - Woma Python

The Woma Python is found throughout desert habitats of central Australia and they actually feed on other reptiles.

Tiny - Olive Python

The Olive Python is the largest species of snake in Australia, reaching up to 6 metres in length and weighing up to 70 kilograms.
