Reptile Park

IN Bali there are several reptile parks such as:
Indonesia Jaya Reptile & Crocodile Park
The Park located in Mengwi and has not only over 500 crocodiles but also a collection of lizards and snakes within large tropical gardens. The two-hectare park offers a variety of unusual sideshows. The Park houses a collection of Komodo dragons, snakes, monitor lizards and iguanas. Featuring a nocturnal reptile house and other special displays.

Home to 3-4 species of crocodile endemic to Indonesia, the Park is not for the weak of heart but more a farm. Indonesia Jaya's essential purpose is to raise crocodiles for their hides. It has undergone intensive training in Australia's Northen territory on all aspects of handling and sustainable use, reproduction, nesting, incubation, husbandry, handling and farming of crocodilians. This means tossing the crocs bucket-loads of chicken.

Rimba Reptile Park
The Park has the most complete collection of reptiles in Southeast Asia. Step out of time into the fantastic world that awaits you at the Bali Reptile Park. Enter the dawn of time when dinosaurs ruled the earth, Komodo dragons stalked their prey and crocodiles emerged from the swamps. The Park can't give you Dinosaurs, but they still have the Komodo Dragons and Crocodiles.

For the wild at heart they have an open-air Reptilarium. It is a walk-in area where our more adventurous guests can handle tame and people friendly green iguanas, monitor lizards, tortoises and pythons. Park's underground serpent cave is unique. This safe and fascinating setting is home to temple vipers, cobras, kraits, mambas and adders, in fact, nearly every imaginable species of venomous snake in the world.

In beautifully landscaped gardens containing waterfalls, pools and streams they have recreated temple ruins to house a representative collection of Indonesian and Asian reptiles. They have created savannah and rainforest, micro-climates in an effort to provide authentic habitats for iguanas, crocodiles, Komodo dragons, huge monitor lizards and pythons.

Perancak Crocodile Park
A village where you can see the Balinese crocodile and ancient temple, Pura Ancak, where the great priest Dang Hyang Nirartha first set foot on Bali. In Perancak, a crocodile farm commemorates the now extinct Perancak crocodile. Indeed, a small zoo houses crocodiles, tigers, jalak putih, the phoenix bird of paradise, and many more.
