I think this needs some explaining. Was he in a box? Can you read the text?

Is that a rattlesnake?

Is that a rattlesnake?

No, some sort of constrictor.

It was in a nature preserve on Barbados.
I wrote the text for the Chinese Lunar New Year. On the left, it says Happy New Year.
The lines on the right are wishes for health, prosperity, happiness, and that all good things go your way.
The upcoming lunar new year is the year of the snake.

I held my first boa constrictor when I was 3 but no one took my picture then. This is me at 16 - my dad's picture. 1954. In 1968 I visited this place again - this is them milking venom

Brave girl you were!

Apparently I am. My kids were not as keen to hold the snakes

Crocodiles -at the Broome Wildlife Park in 2012. We entered through the crocodile's mouth

My middle granddaughter entering through a crocodile's mouth

Crocodiles - Salties

There were bird flying over the pond the crocs were in and I saw a crocodile jump out of the pond and try to catch one (he missed)

Here most of the paths were sand, and my scooter didn't scoot. So after they passed around a baby croc (with the mouth taped shut) for everyone to hold,

they took a tour of the park and I just stayed at the main building and took photos of some of the pythons
