Visit the Kerdanet terrarium and vivarium
If you are fascinated by reptiles and amphibians, head to the Kerdanet terrarium and vivarium in Châtelaudren-Plouagat. On the program for this unusual visit: an outdoor trail to discover the animals in a natural setting and a heated vivarium for the most exotic species!
Less than 30 minutes from the Best Western Le Duguesclin hotel in Saint-Brieuc lies a unique refuge in Brittany, created several decades ago by a reptile and amphibian enthusiast – Pierre Quistinic. After discovering the Kerdanet terrarium and vivarium, you will never see snakes in the same way again!
Breaking down preconceived ideas and false beliefs about these animals that are often frightening: this is one of the vocations of the Kerdanet terrarium and vivarium.
A sanctuary that presents the unusual and fascinating world of amphibians and reptiles in an original way.
You will observe them in a natural open-air setting, and learn more about their lifestyles. Vipers, grass snakes, land and aquatic turtles – around 200 – have taken up residence there.
Would you prefer to see the green frogs and follow the ballet of the dragonflies? Head to the large pond!
Here, the animals are nice and warm: the temperature is close to 30°. Grass snakes, anacondas, royal or Burmese pythons, boa constrictors, black mamba… You are in the kingdom of snakes!
The vivarium is also home to iguanas, geckos, monitor lizards and broad-fronted crocodiles. The bravest will even be able to touch one of the hosts at the end of the visit, in the presence of a facilitator.
To recover from your emotions, relax with a drink and enjoy the terrace of the La Taverne restaurant at the Best Western Le Duguesclin!
