Today I managed to visit the Home of Venomous Animals in Eimsheim, Germany (Gifttierhaus Eimsheim). I was there in 2013, the originals thread is here, sadly the pictures are no longer available because of the photobucket problem… --> http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/general-venomous-forum/102889-home-venomous-animals.html
They are still open only once every month, so the timing to get there is a little problematical.
The basic philosophy is still the same, they have only venomous or poisonous animals on display, mainly snakes, but also dart frogs, spiders, scorpions and millipedes.
Here are some pictures I made today
Vipers
