SNAKES ALIVE! 2026
Snakes Alive! 2026 will be held Monday 12 January to Sunday 18 January in the Banks building at the ANBG.
Pencil these dates into your calendars now and be sure not to miss out on yet another entertaining and educational display of live reptiles and amphibians!
Members of the public receive an exceptional educational experience with the opportunity to learn about reptiles and amphibians in a hands-on way from dedicated ACT Herpetological Association volunteers.
The Banks building at the ANBG where the display is held is air conditioned, perfect for escaping those hot summer days!
Funds raised through Snakes Alive! give ACTHA the opportunity to make donations to support regional conservation issues such as the Northern and Southern Corroboree Frog breeding programs and projects aimed at furthering reptile and amphibian protection and recovery, education, training, and research projects.
Species local to the ACT and Southern Tablelands region are displayed, such as the highly endangered Northern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) and threatened species such as the Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla) and Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar).
