Mulga snake...
Python...
Tiger snakes.
It's not every day you get to stroke a live Boa constricter.
"You lookin' at me?"
"Nope,no snakes in there bro"
Not a good photo but these creatures are called frogmouths(simular to an owl),and these three were huddled together...so sweet!
Well,we spent saturday morning driving around perth looking for a new family car,with not alot of success really so we took a round-about-way of getting home by driving the south West highway.That's when we saw the sign for Armadale reptile Centre...oohh we said in unison,that looks interesting...so we went in.There was quite an impressive range of native snakes including a boa constricter which we each got to stroke.Quite alarming to be honest at just how MANY deadly snakes there are here!.Outside there was a crocodile enclosure and also a turtle swimming around in there(?).The wombats were very cute!As were the two ponys:"Zorro"and"Dolly"which the kids liked stroking.I don't know WHAT they thought of the snakes,monitors,dragons,skinks and crocs!,but they did like their icecreams afterwards.It is very scenic out that way in the perth hills,very green and pleasant.
Today I was not feeling very well so we had a quiet day,with abit of weeding in the garden this afternoon.I planted some lavender and daisy's and jasper"helped"by pulling them out!,nothings safe with little ones around...i give the lavender and daisys a week,at the most.Oh and today we saw a baby snake in our garden and our neighbour spotted a snake in her garden yesterday.
