The Snake Park

Today, Sunday, we were supposed to go on a game drive to Tarangire National park to see all the animals. However, Uncle Topher was still not feeling well. He actually looked ok to me, I think he just wanted to sleep in. But, he's had some tummy problems the past day or so. So, Mommy said she wasn't going to pay a bunch of money to drive around with him complaining about his stomach all day....so we postponed our day safari again.

Instead, we had lunch in town and went to the snake park, just a little ways out of town. Mommy does NOT like it there. She kept reminding me that we should NEVER ever pick up or touch any kind of snake!






They had so many types of snakes there....and Mommy was very alarmed to see that all were native to this area. Black mambos, green mambos, pythons (HUGE), the queen of sheba snake etc. Uncle Topher thought it was really cool to see all the different types of snakes.






They also have some birds that they are helping to rehabilitate and then send back out into the wild. And, they have crocodiles (babies and the big ones), and turtles. Mommy learned that our tortoise, Samantha, is only about 18 years old and can live to be 200. She will also grow very very big!
