Who needs fish stories when you have giant snake stories? And boy do we see and hear a lot of giant snake stories.

The original article in question can be found here.

I hope everyone survived the winter - and I hope winter is done for all of us in general. We are now in our spring season here at Reptile Gardens and we opened our doors on March 4th!
