The Reptilium Terrarien- und Wüstenzoo Landau, located in the city of Landau in der Pfalz, is the largest reptile zoo in Germany. It offers a unique opportunity to see a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, and some invertebrates and mammals. The zoo was born out of the private collection of the current zoo director, Uwe Wünstel, who has been passionate about reptiles from an early age.
Zoo's Divisions
The zoo is divided into four distinct areas. The Terrarium Hall with Night House houses animals in more than 30 different terrariums, including the world's largest venomous snake, the King Cobra, and Mississippi alligators. The Baby Station is the smallest area of the Reptilium, where eggs are incubated and young animals are raised. The Desert Hall is a large hall where presentations are held as part of the hourly program. The outdoor area mainly houses native reptiles and amphibians, as well as raccoons and Greek land turtles.
Conservation Efforts
The Reptilium Terrarien- und Wüstenzoo Landau is a member of the German Society for Herpetology and Terrarium Science (DGHT) and the Zoological Society for Species and Population Protection (ZGAP). The zoo actively participates in species protection through its work on several scientific breeding books and the breeding of endangered species. This commitment to conservation and education makes the zoo not only a place of entertainment but also a center for learning and awareness about the importance of biodiversity.
