Nursing snakes in Hanoi’s bosom
Downtown Hanoi is crawling with dozens of colorful snakes, thanks to one man's fascination for the reptiles. Vu Thanh Tung, 30, owns 15 nonpoisonous snake species that come from arid regions in America, like Florida state, or Canada. He keeps them in a 20 square metres room in Dong Da District, one of the most thickly populated areas in Hanoi. Tung started acquiring snakes as pets in 2008. He says: “When I was young, my uncle had a python which I loved. When I became familiar with this hobby, I started importing foreign snakes and raising them. What is unique about snakes is that they are of countless colors and have thousands of characteristics. It’s easy to raise and take care of them.” The first few years were not easy for Tung.

He found out later that snakes can survive for months without … [Read more...] about Nursing snakes in Hanoi’s bosom
