Inspired by the Vietnamese?
(Sadly, after the requisite tourist samplings can report no obvious 'stamina' boost)
Not particularly Vietnamese. We have here in China too (Vietnam probably got it from China) with either snake or lizard. Sometimes, sea horses.
I've also drunk grappa in Italy with snake in the bottle. And seen vodka with snake in Russia. Seems to be quite common in many places.
