General information

Exotarium was founded in 1987. Presently it houses the world’s largest collection of snakes. Exotarium has acquired a world-wide repute and recognition due to breeding rarest species of animals, many of which are still little-studied.
Each year we breed many species that are already threatened with extinction in their natural surroundings, thus trying to preserve them. Boulenger’s Snake
