Snakes and Crocodiles!!

This is when we went to the Reptile Farm here in Kinshasa. It was sooo much fun! As you can see they let everyone hold the snakes and walk around with them. I decided not to do that, and Spencer was unsure of it, but he warmed up to it and had one wrapped around him. Tyler of course was holding a few of them throughout our little tour of different snakes. They had cobras, vipers, and pythons there. A lot of them were venomous, and one the tour guide took out and handled. They fed the snakes rodents while we were there too, which was really interesting to see four snakes in a cage and see which one got the one mouse that was dropped in. The first time we saw that, one snake went after it, then another snake started coming at the one who had bit the mouse (and yes the mouse was alive and it started squealing). So the one came after the first one, the first one dropped the mouse, and the second snake bit the first snake and had his head in his mouth! It was so weird, to see a snake biting the other snake. When the snake got his head out of the other snakes mouth there was a little blood. There were almost all boys that were there with us, and they were all just loving it. :) We also saw a crocodile, and they even fed him a big rodent, and had him jump up for it. A little more dangerous since the walls of that cage weren't high enough we didn't think. But all in all, it was a VERY fun day!
