Heat Wave Weekend at Clyde Peeling's Reptiland

It may be frigid outside this time of year, but we’re heating things up at the zoo with our NEW Heat Wave Weekends!

Join us on select weekends this winter to enjoy specialty shows featuring animals from warm climates.

Note: On these weekends, the following shows will be given in place of our regular seasonal show offering, Reptile Diversity.

Shows

Tropical Rainforest

Nowhere on earth can a greater diversity of life forms be found than in the tropical rainforests that straddle the equator. Plants and animals are disappearing at an alarming rate as these forests are slashed and burned. This program is a celebration of rainforest diversity. Through the use of an assortment of live animals representing habitats from the canopy to the forest floor, audiences are introduced to the excitement of jungle life.

Desert

This program focuses on the opposite end of the spectrum from the rainforest. In the desert, there is very little rainfall—less than 10 inches per year! Desert-dwellers have adapted to some of the harshest and driest of conditions, and this show features an assortment including a scorpion, star tortoise, various lizards, and snakes – including a western diamondback rattlesnake!
