Get in Touch With Your Wild Side During Our Spectacular Reptile Shows!

It should come as no surprise that one of our most popular animal shows of the summer is our exclusive Croc Show! Since we only offer this show during our summer season, we highly encourage local reptile lovers to make the trek to New Braunfels to see this incredible animal show for yourself. Every Sunday at 3 o’croc, you can watch as our Deputy Director, Jarrod Forthman, HAND FEEDS giant crocodilians! Admire today’s living dinosaurs as they snap their powerful jaws together to swallow raw chickens whole. To make this show even better, a handful of reptile loving kiddos can volunteer to join our epic Croc Squad.

This show is a highlight of each Snake Farm Summer and an event you don’t want to miss!

The next animal show we’ll be talking about is perfect for reptile lovers who want a more laid-back feeding experience, and is none other than our Interactive Tortoise Feeding show! During this show, you can help hand-feed our sulcata tortoises. Watch in awe as these gentle giants delicately nibble on leafy greens and yummy tortoise treats like lettuce and strawberries. 

While these two shows are our most popular reptile shows, we offer plenty of other incredible ones here at the Snake Farm! Visit our website to check out our complete summer show schedule. Remember, our shows change seasonally, so always be on the lookout for new educational experiences!
