Kentucky Reptile Zoo houses an educational display of over 100 species of live reptiles. We strive to educate the public aobut the importance of reptiles to the ecosystem, through our exhibit, interpretive talks, and outreach programs. KRZ is also one of the few venom producers in the United States, producing venom from over 50 species of reptiles for antivenom and medical research. We also support research on reptiles, particularly snakes, whenever possible.
