72 Species of Non-Poisonous Snakes Dazzle the Crowds at Global Village The Reptile Garden – A Mini Reptile Zoo at Global Village


 
The Reptile Village at Global Village, the region’s leading Cultural, Shopping and Entertainment family outdoor destination, is present this season with 72 different species of the rarest snakes, Iguanas, hedgehogs, and turtles as well as wild lizards. This rare collection of wildlife is entirely non-poisonous and has to date received a large turnout of the public who wish to see reptiles and learn about them and where they originate from.

Ghobash Ali, the founder and owner of the Reptile Village at Global Village commented on the quality of reptiles on display this year to the audience: “I make sure that I participate in the global village every year since my first participation in 2001, and this year I decided to participate with various species, 72, of non poisonous snakes. This collection includes snakes brought from the United States, Indonesia, Thailand, China and further North, as well as rare types and varieties of lizards, iguanas, hedgehogs and turtles."
 
He adds: " Global Village is full of many events from around the world, something which is virtually reflected in the snakes on display at the Reptile Village as they have also been brought in from around the world for the pleasure and knowledge of the audience here.” He continues; “There are various exotic types of snakes in the Reptile Village, of various shapes and sizes, but the most popular species here are Royal Snakes, also referred to as "King Snakes", or “Milk” Snakes, or even “Corn” Snakes, and all are non-poisonous species.

Ghobash notes that the presence of these snakes in the Global Village has been assured under the strictest forms of security and safety controls, and all have obtained health certificates prior to display. He added that Global Village has provided a favorable environment for all the reptiles in terms of lighting, temperature and adequate food.

Ghobash goes on to explain that within the lizard display is the Green Iguana of South Africa, as well as lizard known as the two-headed lizards because they disguise their looks in order to seize prey through camouflaging their skin color to blend with their environment as well as tuck in their tail which makes them look two-headed.

Ghobash goes to further share that feeding the reptiles’ costs about 1000 AED weekly and each of them gets fed in the morning prior to the opening of Global Village, and each gets a regular medical examination to insure both health of the creature and safety of the visitors.

Ghobash also thanks the management of Global village for encouraging young entrepreneurs in various fields and ages and helping them make their projects a success. He also commended Global Village management for cooperating with him over the past 11 years and dedicating space for the Reptile Village, a feature the crowds have grown accustomed to over the years.

In addition to entertainment, shopping and getting to discover and learn about new cultures from 65 different countries, the Reptile Village, affectionately referred to as “the Amazon”,  is considered by visitors as one of the most exciting educational stop at Global Village.
