Hanoi Urban Herping Tour Statistics
Reptile Encounter Statistics
Introduction
The Hanoi Urban Herping Tour follows the OEP policy. We will share the latest reptile encounter statistics (with proof) for this tour here.
*** Important Note ***
Hanoi is now in the coldest part of winter (usually from December to March). During this time, snake activity is very low. If you go herping now, your chances of seeing snakes are much lower. Because of this, we don’t collect statistics data as often as in other months. We also recommend not booking the Hanoi Herping tour during this period. However, if you still want to go, we will offer a discount.
