Sponsorships

Sponsor a Kentucky Reptile Zoo Animal

Sponsor a Kentucky Reptile Zoo Animal

In addition to donating to the zoo, you can sponsor our animals to help us provide them with the best care! 

Our sponsorship program gives you the chance to "adopt" a Black Mamba without the worry of having to bring it home with you!

With a sponsorship, you don’t actually receive the animal, but you are able to contribute to their care and KRZ's mission of public education and providing venom for valuable research.

The fee for the sponsorship is the estimated price to feed and care for that animal during the period of one year.
