the ecosystem by eating mice, which are despised by wet-rice
agriculture farmers. Snake, in many places, is used for cooking, (Snake
meat in Lệ Mật village, Hanoi is a prime example). Most importantly,
snakeskin, venom, and gall bladder are valuable medicines.

and gall bladder can cure many illnesses such as arthritis, and even
cancer. Therefore, snake, the mysterious and dangerous animal, is listed
as controlling animal, the 6th zodiac among the 12 in Vietnamese
