Snake Park

Our latest family adventure took up to Snake Park...a reptile zoo located in a small town out in the middle of nowhere. (I'm thinking they don't have to go real far to get the reptiles they have, seeing as they're surrounded by all these reptiles natural habitat!) A reptile zoo, a Maasai museum and camel rides...a true African destination resort! Shay was very excited about the camel ride...and at a whoppin' 500 tsh ($0.40) we decided we could 'spring' for it. Mommy loved the ride too!

Look Shay, pretty snake...pet the pretty snake. (Don't worry, this one wasn't deadly...of course, I think it was the ONLY snake they had there that wasn't lethal!) This place takes the cake when it comes to concentration of poisonous snakes, most of which it said were lethal. If not due to the venom, then due to the sheer strength. The South African pythons were enormous...augmented nicely by the pictures of two different instances of pythons being found with people swallowed inside...decided not to post the picture we took of the pictures they had posted (and yes, the stories are true, rare but true...be careful where you take a nap). Mmmm, I must look tasty...sure glad this pane of glass is between me & this Black Mamba...considered to be the most lethal snake in the world! One bite and hasta-la-vista...unless of course you make a habit of carrying around the antidote to Black Mamba venom. Don't worry though, only about half the poisonous snakes we saw are native to this area!

C'mon Dad, let me see...I want to see too! Jadyn getting a bird's eye view of the friendly crocodile only 10 feet away/4 feet below us that Shay was very excited to

be looking at. She's a smart kid though...didn't want to pet/hold this one!
