The offspring of our Zoos are not a one-off accident nor are they random, they are instead the result of a continuous breeding effort over the years. Our goal is to breed rare species and protected animals on a regular basis, so that the extraction of wild animals from their natural habitat ultimately becomes unnecessary.
The following animals are bred in the Reptilienzoo Happ:
Snakes:
The offspring of domestic snakes are yearly released into the wildness, in a process oversaw by the Carinthian Conservation Advisory Council. This animal release is performed in areas where construction work (roads, tunnels, etc.) previously either forced the reptiles to migrate or even caused their extinction; this process sees an attempt to return those species to their natural surroundings and to re-balance the animal population.
