Reptilia: Celebration of Snakes

Start Date: Jul 26, 2025
End Date: Jul 26, 2025
From: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Come and get rid of your ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) at the El Paso Zoo by helping us celebrate one of the most misunderstood animals during our “Reptilia: Celebration of Snakes” Event.

Schedule:

Come share our passion for snakes and their value to the ecosystem and learn how you can protect them from unnecessary slaughter.

Snakes play an important role as apex predators, helping to keep rodents in check that positively impacting agriculture, while helping to lower the risk of diseases spread by rodents to people, such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, tularemia and salmonella. Come celebrate with us as we educate the public about these beautiful creatures and hopefully do away with some common misconceptions surrounding snakes.
