Are there any snakes, crocodiles or dangerous spiders in New Zealand? (2024)
No, there aren’t any snakes or crocodiles in New Zealand.
However, there is one poisonous spider — the katipō. It’s native yet also endangered so you’re highly unlikely to come across one. They’re rarely only found near the seashore under driftwood or around coastal grasses.
