Australia is renowned to have some of the most deadly and dangerous animals in the world.

To fulfill the ever curious mindset of visitors, Australia Reptile Park will feature Deadly & Dangerous Live on Stage at the park in the April school holidays (9 to 25 April), educating guests on Australia’s most venomous creatures.

Learn about the Inland Taipan, the most venomous snake in the world, and its deadly relatives the Eastern Brown Snake, Tiger Snake and Death Adder.

See on display laboratory props, which are usually only visible behind the scenes when used for milking deadly snakes as part of the Reptile Park’s venom program.

Head keepers will present a ranking of each animal’s deadly rating, which is not only limited to snakes.

Lizards will also play a part, with the largest venomous animal on earth, the Komodo Dragon featured in the show series, along with the highly venomous Gila Monster Lizard.

Selected spiders will also be a part of the Deadly & Dangerous Live on Stage show series, as keepers demonstrate how to react if bitten by the highly venomous Funnel-Web or Redback spider, commonly found in Australia.
