First off no cages, but glass cases. Need to keep the snakes safe from the people. Snakes are in the trees on the paintings, in the light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. Small Temple but very nice. Always enjoy being able to see other cultures.

Some were viper and there was a python at the other area. Those snakes were even... More

I went 20 years ago and was pleased to see a big improvement In the way the photographer treats the reptiles. The old days of throwing snakes on people and charging a fortune are gone.
