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!
