It is our goal to provide the opportunity to learn about, view and even touch some of the most beautiful and exotic animals on our planet. Unique and mysterious, reptiles, amphibians and other exotic animals raise both hairs and curiosities. It is through this interest we strive to entertain and educate people about the importance of biodiversity, and the conservation and sustainable use of all forms of life.
Brad's WORLD REPTILES develops professional large-scale, live-animal educational programs, interactive exhibits, and stage shows as an attraction and
entertainment at events.
Our concept-based school programs teach topics that include
rainforest ecology, biodiversity, animal adaptations, and
interdependence.
For more than two decades we
have entertained and instructed audiences of thousands, from state fairs
and corporate events in sunny southern California to isolated Eskimo
villages in northern Alaska.

Brad's
WORLD REPTILES is one of the largest reptile breeding and research facilities in
the Pacific Northwest. We maintain large self-sustaining breeding
groups of dozens of species of snakes, lizards, amphibians and
arthropods.
Our company has been on the cutting edge of reptile
propagation since 1980, specializing in a wide variety of both popular
and exotic species.
Wildlife Conservation Refuge
Brad's WORLD REPTILES is located on a 10 acre ranch near Corvallis, Oregon. This property holds the facilities and also serves as a refuge for native plants and wildlife. Dozens of native plant species have been reintroduced to replace the hay fields that have been in production for nearly a century. It is now home to black-tailed deer, beavers, foxes, bobcats, mallards, wood ducks, owls, hawks, kestrel falcons, red-legged frogs, long-toed salamanders, western pond turtles and many other native species.
