The animals
The animals at Las Vegas Reptile Zoo are more than residents, they are ambassadors for their species. Through responsible care, education, and conservation, each animal helps us share the story of its natural history, the challenges its species faces in the wild, and the importance of protecting wildlife for future generations.
Explore our animal collection to learn about their natural habitats, behaviors, lifespans, conservation status, and the role responsible breeding and human care can play in supporting reptile and amphibian species.
Reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and why the third group matters
Reptiles
Lizards, snakes, tortoises and turtles. Scaled, ectothermic, and the animals most people are most wrong about.
Amphibians
Frogs, toads, salamanders and newts. Permeable skin, tied to water, and the group being hit hardest by disease worldwide.
Invertebrates
Tarantulas, scorpions and their relatives. Not insects. Arachnids have eight legs and two body sections, insects have six and three, and on a site about teaching people we would rather get that right.
Cover the care of one of them
Sponsorship pays for one animal's food, heating, veterinary care and enclosure for a year. You get its updates and its photos, and your name goes on its page.
It is the most direct way to help, and for a business it is the one that gets seen: your name sits on the page people actually read.
