Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or simply looking for a unique way to celebrate, Mandai’s scaly residents are ready to charm you with their fascinating abilities and ecological importance.

Discover the Amazing World of Snakes

Step into the spotlight with scheduled Keeper Talk sessions featuring some of the world’s most remarkable snakes:
