Ball Python
Due to heat sensing pits located along the upper jaw, ball pythons can easily find prey in complete darkness. The pits open at different angles which allows the snake to tell what direction warmth is coming from.

There are several ways to purchase group rate tickets:
Option 1: All members of the group arrive at the zoo at the same time on the same day. One form of payment is required at the ticket booth at the time of arrival. Please make reservations for your group by calling (315) 435-8511 x100 at least two weeks prior to your visit.
Option 2: A representative for the group will take pre-orders and will purchase the exact number of tickets needed by the group. The ticket price is based on the total number of tickets purchased and no refunds will be issued for unused tickets. Payment is received in advance of the visit in exchange for tickets which are then distributed to members of the group. Tickets may be used at any time and do not have an expiration date. To purchase advance sale group rate tickets, call (315) 435-8511 x110 at least two weeks prior to your visit.
Please note: The Rosamond Gifford Zoo does not refund admission or provide "rain checks" because of weather.
