atomic betty!


Recommended Posts

139 kilo reticulated python at the 'australia zoo' (steve irwin's place for non-aussies). named atomic betty, they consider it more dangerous than any of their poisonous snakes or crocs etc. 6.5 metres long and apparently would be quite happy to snack on a keeper.

they feed it four 25 kilo goats a year - didn't say if they were alive or dead.

and it is still a youngster. could get a lot bigger.

I take it they chop up the goat? i know snakes can swallow large animals but i also know if they eat something too large it restricts their movement making them vulnerable to predators. Not that he has any predators in a zoo.
