Overcome your fear of snakes and other horrors and go visit the new Reptile House open in Roda. It is found next to the church opposite Maggies old place. The knowledgeable owners talk you through the various exhibits and allow photos and some controlled handling. I therefore found myself draped with the coils of a near 4 meter snake, very heavy, and then balancing a huge scorpion on my hands. For €5 for adults with reduced prices for children, you can spend an informative hour with the reptiles of Corfu and other continents. The place is open from 11am each day. Very very interesting.

Jan, thanks for this information. My daughter Kelly is really looking forward to visiting the reptile house (she will probably be in there every day) - I on the other hand will watch from afar - probably from Crusoes with a large mythos! Looking forward to meeting you in September
regards, Kath.

Didn't even look in the direction of the place.
Although I couldn't escape all the b****y posters that are stuck all round the place. Just not right! :-(

My 9 year old Grandson Jack visited the reptile house when we were there last week.....he loved it and held every snake, lizard, spider....Eeeeekkk. His Dad said the owners were really interesting and explained all about them in great detail, Jack was fascinated.
Would definitely recommend it to anybody who likes that kind of thing.........(not for me tho')
