Home of Venomous Animals

[Roman]

Gifttierhaus Eimsheim (= Home of Venomous Animals in Eimsheim, Germany)

I went to a small local reptile zoo not far from Frankfurt yesterday. It is a private zoo which specializes in venomous Animals, so there are only animals which are in some way venomous in the exhibition. There are some spiders, scorpions and frogs displayed, but most animals are obviously snakes. Here are some of them…


Vipers/Pit Vipers



Vipera ammodytes







Vipera ammodytes meridional




Macrovipera mauritanica




Echis coloratus




Atheris squamigera




Deinagkistrodon acutus




Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus

Trimeresurus-trigonocephalus




Bothriechis schlegelii






Crotalus durissus





Sistrurus catenatus tergeminus

... and some Elapids

Naja annulifera

I'd never keep any myself but why are venomous snakes always so incredibly gorgeous?

If you visit Germany sometime you might really consider to go there. It is about 45 minutes from Frankfurt by car in a small village right next to the river Rhine. The only issue is timing, because they are open to the public only one weekend per month, so you should check out their schedule.

They don’t have any information in English, but you will find their schedule under “Öffnungszeiten”

Thanks for the heads up. That is a pretty limited schedule...

Love all of these guys, the Trimeresurus-trigonocephalus reminds me of mint and chocolate chip icecream :P

if you use Google Chrome, as your web browser, it will give you the option to automatically translate the page, if it detects that it is not in your native language...and the translations arnt that bad either, it copes quite well even with slang ....the world gets smaller every day!
