It was founded and owned by the French entomologist and naturalist André Peyriéras,[1][2][3] which is why it is also known as the Reserve Peyrieras.

The collection includes many reptiles (chameleons, iguanas, geckos, frogs), batraciens (amphibians), crocodiles and papillons (butterflies).

The adjacent forest area supports families of relocated and habituated Verreaux's sifaka and common brown lemur which provide opportunities to photograph them close up at feeding times.

[1] Most of the reptiles and other species are held within several large caged buildings and greenhouses, which tourists may enter when accompanied by a guide.
