The Giggle Lab

Playing with the parachute at Briarfield Gardens

Some creatures seem really scary, and we don't even want to know what they are. They have preconceived notions of being bitey, slimy, slippery, mischievous or even dangerous.

This is Cinnamon, a Boa Imperative, and one of the nicest creatures to work with. The thing is, she sees me as a warm tree that moves, and not much more. She's very comfortable to have sit on you, and will happily just look around from a higher vantage point. Add to that that she's eaten and digested recently, and she's quite happy to enjoy the warmth and the view.

In truth, after being at the zoo all day, I felt more risk being with the parrots then the snakes.
