There aren't many zoos in the USA that showcase 3 species of cobra or 11 types of viper but those animals are included in the species list from my visit in the summer of 2012.

Interesting you should say that, as venomous snakes, and vipers in particular, are one of the groups I was surprised at the diversity of during my Florida/Atlanta zoo tour in 2013 - though that's largely thanks to Jacksonville (11 viperids) and Atlanta (17 viperids).
