| "Live reptiles are kept in the Biotrek rainforest center and exotic plants."
A staff once took a yellow female python in front of building 8 and let students play with her. The python was very large, with her circular body in around 10 inches in diameter and probably 9 feet in length (the staff said a fully grown python usually length between 15-20 feet). She was extremely docile (Some said pythons become docile after feeding to full. That was probably the case as I could see the couple "bumps" in the snake) and her skin is very smooth to touch, almost like touching a fine crystal glass but much softer and slick in feeling. Such a beautiful creature.
I like Pythons. They make great pets if fed (manually) regularly. Some also like to share a bed with humans, since they are cold blooded and cannot regulate their body temperature... hmm, a bunk mate that coils over the person! Too bad any living things would be under threat if a pet python is hungry... I don't want to die from constriction, and a small baby / dog / cat would be swallowed whole. |
