Adopt a Komodo dragon

Adopting a Komodo dragon at Paignton Zoo will make a real contribution to the care and general wellbeing of our Komodo dragon and our vital conservation work. Our adoptions make a fantastic gift for animal lovers of all ages and prices start from as little as £30 per year.

 

 

We're home to a female Komodo dragon, Khaleesi, who joined us in July 2018. She is an impressive 2 metres long and weighs over 30kgs! This species may be the world's largest lizard but it is listed as Vulnerable due to the threat of habitat degradation. 

In captivity, Komodo dragons are managed by a studbook which aims to keep the zoo population healthy and diverse. They are one of the most studied lizard species and many zoos contribute towards researching dragons in the wild.

How do I adopt a komodo dragon?

First choose the adoption package you wish to purchase from the options below and then simply make your animal selection.

Please note that the standard animal adoption pack is the only option currently available for the Komodo dragon. We do have more adoption packages available for other animals. Please click here for further information.

Adoptions apply to the species rather than individual animals. This is because our animals may move to other zoos as part of breeding programmes.
