The Reptile and Wildlife Shelter and Educational Center of La Paz

 

Ever wanted to see some of the 16 species of rattlesnakes found in Baja California, for example maybe the unique rattle-less rattlesnake? How about seeing close up a Harris Hawk, alligators, owls or sweet water turtles and other animals that you probably won’t or don’t want to encounter in the wild? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be there at feeding time and witness pythons’ and rattlesnakes’ feeding habits! The Reptile and Wildlife Center is interactive and visitors are allowed to feed turtles, parrots, rabbits. The center also hosts all species of iguanas occurring in Mexico and many small lizards, including the endemic species, roam free in a small botanic garden that's part of the center.
