Snake Sanctuary, Langkawi

King Cobra, it looks pretty sad in there.


Unidentified, some kind of rat snake I think.

Beautiful Pit Viper, not as beautiful as its name. Looks miserable.

Green Iguana

Red Tail Racer. The only healthy species found by me, at least it doesn't look skinny.

Common Malayan Racer, badly managed.

I wonder how long that shed ed skin was left there by that red tail racer. Pathetic.

Mangrove Cat Snake, Looks huge and long, but not healthy I can say.

My guess is a Cameron Pit Viper, correct me if I'm wrong. Cute little fellow sticking on the wall.

Blood Python. I wonder how long since it had been handled.

Red Tail Boa, did they even feed it? The water and enclosure are dirty and not well kept. You can see rotten poop in some of the enclosure as well.

Cave Racer. Big fellow.

This looks like a Ptyas Mucosus to me. Correct me if I'm wrong again. I think is the fake looking cobra.

California King Snake.

Bond structure of a snake. No description, perhaps a retic.

Not identified



Orange Baboon
Rose hair something, haha. Not into spiders.

Paradise Tree Snake

Pope Pit Viper

There is a gaboon Viper too =) Forgot to take photo of it.

This sanctuary is situated beside Makam Mahsuri and poorly taken care of. It charged a fee of Rm10 per entry which is quite expensive. Photos taken are in bad quality because of the glass behind the snake. Water marks, dirt and stains haven't been wipe for ages.

Those snakes are WC as I can see, with badly shed skin, skinny bodies and faded coloration. From the moment I step in, after encountering one person, which is the ticket seller, I do not find anyone else inside the sanctuary. No workers or cleaners or guides. My gawd, this is bad.

Authorities, please do something ! If you don't have the fund to manage the place, why not just close it down than torturing those serpents?
Most reptiles display center I went which is manage by the government looks as sucky as this. Le sigh
