I think the place this guy is accociated with is in Guindy, a Southern suburb of Chennai.

The other place you are thinking about is probably the Crocodile Bank. That is just outside Chennai on the way to Mahabalipuram. They have a small number of snakes and scorpions there, and you can see demonstrations of the venom being harvested for serums.

I've never yet been to the Guindy snake park.

Nick, the Crocodile Bank on the outskirts in ECR is also associated with Romulus Whitaker.

Salvia, for more information check the official Website http://www.madrascrocodilebank.org/

Thanks, Slakhs... I failed to find that link myself, and will enjoy looking at their site

When I was there, I enjoyed seeing the nesting Egrets almost as much as the crocs!
