NON – VENOMOUS SNAKES

We have a number of non-venomous snakes at the Zoo from our amazing Albino Burmese Python to our locally found Cyprus Whip Snake. Non-Venomous Snakes are harmless to humans and kill their prey in various ways. Some constrict their prey, some press it to the ground or chew it to kill it and some just catch and swallow their prey alive.
