At the Australian Venom Zoo our primary focus is on captive breeding and displaying venomous animals that will one day be responsible for producing some of the most advanced medicines in the world. The majority of animals we have here are unique to Australia and in some cases have never before been seen. We believe that the education of the general public is an essential step in understanding the importance of Australia's venomous animals. As well as milking our animals for a sustainable supply of venom for bio-pharmacutical screening, we also breed a large number of them for the expanding pet trade industry. Our staff are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Australias unique venomous wildlife and have appeared in a number of internationally acclaimed wildlife documentaries. Currently, our main focus is on Australian Tarantulas, centipedes and scorpions however we will eventually expand to include Venomous Australian snakes, jellyfish, cone-snails, insects and other dangerous aquatic creatures. We are the only zoo of its kind in the world and are the only registered breeders of Australian Tarantulas. We'd love for our passion to become yours so why not come see us or drop us a line?
