Incredible news. The reptile park has completed a mass importation of reptiles - three King Cobras, three Eyelash Vipers, eleven young Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes and six Honduran Milksnakes have been imported. The cobras include a pair and a juvenile from which they hope to breed cobras once again. One viper and rattlesnake are on-display now: Log in to Facebook | Facebook

From what I have heard, its set to end the later part of this year.
Green Anacondas born
From an Instagram post - Nicki Minaj, the park’s Green Anaconda, has given birth to 16 live young. They’re on display in the Lost World of Reptiles over the school holidays.
The post also outlined that Nicki Minaj is about 3.5m long, and weighs over 50kgs. The snakelets were born at about 2 feet long, and weigh about 265g each

Very pleasing news. There hopefully is healthy demand for anacondas regionally. Nicki Minaj is the name of Australia Zoo's anaconda they originally received from Canberra in 2018 so she must have have been transferred out to the reptile park for breeding purposes (unless there is another snake with the same name).

Very exciting news. In a few years we should see a few new holders popping up!
Very good news indeed!
'Nicki Minaj' is a different snake than the one at Beerwah, she's been at the Reptile Park for a while now and is also known as 'Stench'. The Reptile Park also has a male named 'Stanley', and presuming there have been no other recent transfers, I'd assume he is the father.
Darling Downs is the only regional facility with Yellow Anacondas at the moment. Adelaide, Beerwah and the Reptile Park all have Green Anacondas afaik. Both Adelaide and Beerwah have a singular female each whereas the Reptile Park has a breeding pair (plus the sixteen new offspring).

National and DDZ also each have a Green Anaconda.

Just checked the exotic reptiles thread and it seems there are also individuals at Ballarat, Crocodylus and Serpentarium Tasmania. No idea how many those three parks hold.
Thank you for the corrections. Ballarat no longer have there individual. Crocodylus has a female and the Serpentarium have a single male.
Not sure about either Canberra or DDZ. Hopefully someone can update us there.

DDZ still should have the female who used to be at Taronga. National still had one when I went in 2022.
The National Zoo and Aquarium still had one when I visited in October 2023, and I believe that DDZ still had theirs when I visited in April 2023.

The young Green Anacondas at the Australian Reptile Park yesterday - 3 on display and another tank behind
A returning species to the park. A potential breeding pair of two-year-old Veiled Chameleons have arrived at the Australian Reptile Park with plans for the male to go on-show just before Christmas in the Lost World of Reptiles - reported on their FB page.
