More information on Vivarium Elapsoidea

If you are a reptile fan, this is the place for you. Over twenty years ago three young people who shared a common passion for snakes, decided to share their knowledge and resources and set up an association which had education, conservation and collaboration as its aims. In June 1979 they began to organize study trips, exhibitions and conferences and in 1982 were granted the status of a cultural foundation. Ten years later they were able to realize their dream and opened the present building. There are lizards, crocodiles, tortoises and, of course snakes from all over the world.
