In 1978, the PERLIS SNAKE & REPTILE FARM was established as an Institute for Medical Research (IMR), operating under Ministry of Health, Malaysia.

Research Centre.
After 17 years of its opening, the Perlis State Economis Development Corporation (PKENPs) took over in 1995 to commercialize the institute as one of the main tourist hotspot in Perlis. The IMR was then changed to the now renowned TAMAN ULAR & REPTILIA PERLIS (Perlis Snake & Reptile Farm). Since its reopening, the farm has acted as a must-visit tourist attraction, a learning center for students and educators, and also shelter to various species of snakes, reptiles and other animals.
