A snake farm is a facility that breeds and raises snakes for various purposes, such as research, education, conservation, or commercial use (such as the production of snake venom for medical purposes).
Snake farms can vary greatly in size and scope, ranging from small operations to large-scale facilities with hundreds of species of snakes. Snake farming can help conserve threatened or endangered species by breeding and releasing captive-raised individuals into the wild.
Some snake farms provide educational opportunities for the public, such as guided tours, educational presentations, and hands-on experiences with snakes. Snake farming can also provide a source of income for communities, particularly in rural areas where snake species are abundant. Snakes in snake farms are typically housed in enclosures that are designed to meet their specific needs, such as temperature, humidity, and lighting. Snakes are fed a variety of diets, depending on their species and size, which can include live prey (such as mice or rats) or pre-killed food.
Snake farms must adhere to strict safety protocols to protect staff, visitors, and the snakes themselves from harm. Snake farming can have negative impacts on snake populations and ecosystems if not managed responsibly, such as the spread of diseases, the release of non-native species, or the capture of wild snakes.
