Alice Springs Reptile Centre, Reptile exhibition center in Alice Springs, Australia.
Alice Springs Reptile Centre is an exhibition space with more than 100 reptiles from Central Australia. Visitors can see thorny devils, frilled-neck lizards, geckos, perentie lizards, and a saltwater crocodile named Terry.
The centre developed out of a need to manage the relationship between people and reptiles in Alice Springs. What began as a snake rescue operation grew into an educational facility for the community.
The centre serves as a place where locals and visitors learn about the reptiles that truly live in the Australian outback. It shows which species belong to this region and how they fit into desert life.
The centre is located in Alice Springs and welcomes visitors daily, so plan time for a relaxed visit without rushing through. Wear comfortable shoes as outdoor areas can get hot and walking distances vary throughout the facility.
A special area called the Gecko Cave displays nocturnal geckos from different parts of Australia in specialized habitats. These night-active creatures are hard to spot in the wild, but here you can observe their behavior up close.
