One industry that’s adding jobs? Snake farming.
Raising snakes and cultivating them for commercial purposes is a real business with growing demand; however, one needs a license.
Getting the license to keep the wild animal requires permission from KWS, and it comes at a fee after a due process outlined in the law.
Snake farming is often done for research, the collection of venom for medical purposes, and the creation of antivenom. Also, a snake farm can be a tourist attraction site.
The Kenya Wildlife Services is inviting interested snake farmers to send in their applications.
