Paradise Country’s reptile family consists of four iconic native species: Coastal Carpet Pythons, Woma Pythons, Centralian Carpet Python, and Shingle-back skink. Our pythons and lizards live in specialised climate-controlled habitats and can be seen out in park with a wildlife keeper catching sun!
All reptiles are ectotherms, meaning they rely on their environment to warm up and cool down
Australia is home to a whopping 14% of the world’s reptile population.
Snakes and lizards use their tongues to smell.
Australia’s longest snake is the Scrub python, which can reach up to seven meters long! They are the 6th largest snake in the world.
Coastal Carpet Pythons are a common arboreal python that are abundant across most landscapes in Queensland and could even be taking up residence in your house! Like all pythons, this species is critical to ecosystem health and longevity as they prey on introduced species like mice.
Shingle-back skinks are unique reptiles belonging to the Blue-tongue skink family! When threatened they open their mouth and flash their broad blue tongue to frighten predators away.
Stunning, skilled and unique, the Woma Python is a non-venomous ambush hunter native to Australia. Primarily feeding on small reptiles and mammals these beautiful pythons are ground dwellers and inhabit hollow logs and burrows in arid areas. Shockingly this species is known to consume venomous snakes and are unaffected by the venom!
A visit to the farm will put a smile on your dial as you come face to face with cows, horses, goats, sheep, farm dogs, Koalas and Kangaroos as well as Australia’s unique and wonderful wildlife!
