About This Exhibit
The HerpAquarium at the Louisville Zoo is jam-packed with rad reptiles, stunning snakes, and bewitching bats. Explore the world of cold-blooded critters while getting up close with frogs, gila monsters, enormous reticulated pythons and more. Go on an expedition down the Amazon River and come face-to-face with a shoal of black piranhas. Venture down a Mexican mine shaft and 'hang-out' with the vampire bats. Bathe in the sun like King Louie, the Louisville Zoo's very own white-scaled American alligator.
