Venom Program
Celebrating Over 70 Years of Saving Lives
For over 70 years, the Australian Reptile Park’s Venom Program has been saving lives by supplying 100% of the venom used to make Australia’s anti-venoms for deadly snakes. The Reptile Park’s expert team milks over 250 snakes and houses 2,000 funnel-web spiders, providing venom to CSL Seqiris to create life-saving treatments.
Thanks to this work, anti-venom saves around 300 lives every year, and there have been no deaths from funnel-web spider bites since 1981.
Visitors can witness this incredible science in action at the Weigel Venom Centre, a world-class facility where conservation meets cutting-edge research. The program continues to lead the way in wildlife protection, public safety, and venom innovation proving that even the deadliest creatures can help save lives.
