Children and snakes…and an orange iguana!

Whilst driving through Port Dickson recently, noticed a group of children with a rather large collection of snakes. Only managed a few shots as they were touting for money for photographs – and I’m cheap and wasn’t in the mood to negotiate, irrespective of any ethical concerns – but grabbed a few, including the most startlingly orange iguana I have ever seen. The albino python crawling around one child’s waist was something to behold as well!

Once I started showing interest, at least 12 assorted constrictors started emerging from under clothes and being placed on the table. I wish I had had longer to check out the back-story as these were well looked-after and healthy reptiles. Perhaps another time…
