to blossom with a lot of love , care and individual attention . He soon made his public debut , once again , in a proper , fashionable way ! Not only by being admired due to being on public display ( yes , we conquered this after he was conditioned to look at his admirers eye-to-eye from his enclosure !), but even meeting his fans in person ( or should that be snake )! He enjoys public participation and makes his appearance on a regular basis for reptile interactions . He will even give a hiss and a squeeze as a sign of his appreciation to his admirers . He was even called for his own photo shoots numerous times by local newspapers and even made his debut with a bride who visited him for a photo opportunity ! He is definitely a Star and earned his stripes !
After all these years , our special “ Stars ” blossomed in to a handsome Burmese python , now weighing in at a whopping 20 ( twenty !) kilograms … who would have thought that this boy only weighed 1.5 ( one-point-five ) kg when he first arrived 12 years ago ! Interacting with him is an experience one simply can ’ t forget . This animal faced so many adversities in his life before he arrived at the Snake Park . One simply can not but feel very proud to know that he has built up such a strong bond with his caregivers ( his personal butlers !).
In true celebrity style , “ Stars ” favours rats and refuses to feed on rabbits . This results to be quite an expensive taste , as this delicatessen is more costly due to volumes having to be fed to sustain his physique .
“ Stars ” … not only found in Hollywood , but also right on our doorstep !
