Hello Beach Ball guests,
Our family visited the Serpentarium for the first time right after they opened up for the 2022 Season. We were pleasantly surprised at all the things to see here. We were also excited about all of the live show times. It is very close to The Beach Ball which makes it nice to to come and go based on what you want to see. It makes for a nice rainy day activity.
We walked around the inside which is very warm, almost feels like a rainforest. It was nice to see so many snakes that were not behind glass walls but were in a more natural and safe environment.
Outside, we made it to the Snake show. The gentleman that did this performance was incredibly knowledgeable. He held our attention in an outdoor room full of children and parents with lots of interesting facts. We did not attend the live snake feeding or the live alligator feeding. A friend and her family did attend with her boys and said that it was quite the experience.
They have a wonderful gift shop with treats such as sweets, stuffed animals, gifts, Christmas ornaments and more. Show your pass to receive 10% off in the gift shop.
We enjoyed our time here and thought that you might as well. So, we decided to get a season pass that you could enjoy also. Please leave the pass behind so that the next guests can enjoy it as well!
Sincerely,
The Sullivans

Opened to the public in July of 1999, the Edisto Island Serpentarium is a culmination of more than 50 years of snake hunting adventure and experience by brothers Ted and Heyward Clamp of Edisto Island, SC. The modern indoor facility and beautifully landscaped outdoor gardens house a wide variety of reptiles, mostly those collected by the Clamp brothers and native to the southeastern United States.
The reptiles in the outdoor gardens are not displayed behind glass but are viewed by visitors who look over low-walled enclosures to observe the snakes living in streams, climbing in trees or basking on stumps or logs exactly as they would be seen if encountered in the wild. The exhibit was purposely designed in this order hopefully to give visitors the same thrill and exhilaration which the Clamp brothers have enjoyed for years and still feel whenever they suddenly encounter a reptile in its natural habitat.
