Eli5- how do zoos protect their other animals from local venomous snakes?

315 views

I feel like snakes can just get in under the fence? As they normally would? And I’m positive a zoo doesn’t just go “welp. That giraffe was alllllright, I guess”

But I can’t imagine them using pesticides or anything either

because snakes don’t bite other animals for the sake of biting them. Why would a snake bite a giraffe, the giraffe is way to big for any snake to eat. Venom takes a lot of time and energy for the snake to produce and it will avoid the giraffe.
