    • The Reptile Farm: Dive into the fascinating world of reptiles


      Nestled in the Ariège Pyrenees, between Foix and Saint-Girons, La Ferme des Reptiles is a must-see for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. More than just an exhibition space, this unique eco-vivarium offers an immersive experience where each visitor can dive into the captivating world of reptiles. Since its opening, the site has continued to evolve, enriching its facilities and collection to offer an educational and spectacular setting suitable for all ages.


      An immersive and educational discovery at the Reptile Farm

      From the entrance, the discovery begins with an outdoor space carefully designed to recreate the natural habitats of lizards and turtles. One of the highlights of the place is the impressive giant turtle enclosure where sixteen fascinating specimens live, including Hulk, a colossus weighing 130 kilos. Then, the visit continues in an air-conditioned tropical building where more than 93 species from around the world, including a large number of venomous ones (rattlesnakes, cobras, vipers, Gila monsters) thrive in themed terrariums. Between caimans, giant pythons, cobras and rattlesnakes, each space faithfully reproduces the original environment of the residents, guaranteeing both their well-being and total immersion for visitors.


      The Reptile Farm: unique experiences for all visitors

      Throughout the tour, educational activities punctuate the visit and allow you to attend feedings, demonstrations and even observe certain reptiles up close. The most daring will have the unique opportunity to handle snakes and lizards under the supervision of passionate experts. For the curious looking for an even more intense experience, the "Keeper of the Day" program allows you to go behind the scenes of the site and participate in the care of the animals.

      Throughout the year, special events punctuate the life of La Ferme des Reptiles. Spring births, spectacular feedings and themed days attract an ever-increasing number of visitors. Between wonder and sensations, this site has become a leading tourist destination in Ariège, offering a beautiful combination of discovery, adventure and awareness of biodiversity. Whether you are a reptile lover or simply curious, each visit promises an unforgettable encounter with an often unknown but fascinating world.

    Hello, although I am not a fan of animals in captivity, I admit that I was surprised by the complicity of the animals with their caregivers. Animals don't lie!! Thank you it was great to see the passion in the staff and to share it with us.. We will come back thank you
