At the moment we have two major parts here at the property.
We have one outdoor part for our monitor lizards, birds, smaller mammals
and crocodiles.
The other part which is more developed is our breeding house for
pitvipers and cobras.
This house is equipped with a total of 114 professionally designed
terrariums, an office and a big baby-station where we keep all the
offspring from our breeding animals.
To give you a better idea of what work we are actually doing to
preserve these animals, here follows a short description:
First of all as we mainly keep carnivorous reptiles here we need
to breed feeding animals for them. We have set up a breeding station
for rodents. As it looks right now we are in need of 4-500 pieces
of mice/rats every month. So daily work with cleaning enclosures,
feeding and monitoring breeding is needed for the rodent station.
Except that we always have to keep fresh meat and fruits/vegetables
to feed our animals with.
The daily work which is needed for the animals consists mostly of
misting, feeding and giving fresh drinking water for all our animals.
Cleaning all enclosures and check on their condition is also very important.
Unfortunately as you all know animals can get sick. That is the
time you have to be quick and know how to treat them right.
As most of the animals we keep are venomous it is important for us
to have staff that is experienced with handling and has knowledge about these
types of animals.

As you might already have understood, this business is something with high
running-costs for food, supplies and staff salaries and basically no incomes.
If you would like to help these animals, you actually CAN! If you would like
to make a donation to us, this is something you can read about under the
section called further information.
We are also happy when it is possible to let volunteers to come here and
work with us.
Our idea is to open up the business for the public in the form of a zoo.
This is something that is very important for us so we can show and inform
people about these animals we are trying to help out!
