Snakes are endangered animal in India and you can not keep one without the permission of concerned department.
However for the purpose of making research on venom you can get the permission for which you have to get in touch with the government officials who can guide you properly.

You cannot open it in any part of India as per provisions of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 according to which snakes are protected animals.

Mr. Nilesh u r trying to cheque knowledge of expert.
if u know in chenai there is snake farm with 35 k cobra then u can get details from there only.

wild life protection act 1972 envisages that snake is endanger species of India and u need to take permission from Wild life board before starting any such farm.

Mr. Nilesh,

If not sure, it was quite irrevant on your part to quote example of Cheenai snake park.

Anyway, you may better go through the following Act & Rules on the issue:

1. The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, as amended from time to time;

2. Recognition of Zoo Rules, 2009; and

3. The Wildlife (Protection) Licensing (Additional Matters for Consideration) Rules, 1983.
