🐍 What is Dong Tam Snake Farm?

Located about 70 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Tam Snake Farm is the largest center for snake breeding, research, and antivenom production in Vietnam. Founded in the 1970s by Colonel Tran Van Duoc, this government-run facility is now home to over 50 species of snakes, ranging from harmless grass snakes to deadly king cobras and massive Burmese pythons.

The farm is also a medical and research institute, playing a crucial role in treating snakebites and developing life-saving antivenom serum used across Vietnam.

During your guided visit with Dalat Easyrider, you’ll walk through various snake enclosures — both indoor and outdoor — and see these fascinating creatures in their natural behaviors. Your local guide will explain how venom is carefully extracted from dangerous species, and how it is processed into antivenom that saves thousands of lives each year.

You'll learn:
 • The difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes
 • The role snakes play in Vietnam’s ecosystem and traditional medicine
 • How the center handles snakebite emergencies and medical training
 • Conservation efforts and the farm’s role in public education

But it’s not just about science — the place has an almost cinematic atmosphere, with exotic reptiles, tropical plants, and the quiet intensity of being face-to-face with one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures.
