Snake farm visit – Idomageh’s Blog

Hi guys , today I visited a snake farm.. hisssssss . It’s totally safe don’t freak out

They have quite a number of exotic animals presents but the highlights of this place are the snakes . Let me show you some of the friends i made

Let’s go.. I find moving around with a school bag more practical and easy ..

The ostriches

The ostrich.. two were very friendly and expected snacks . The third was quite shy .

Ostrich feathers are harvested and used for cleaning or decoration.

Ostrich are large flightless land birds and they have three stomachs!

The Putty nosed monkey

I couldn’t get their attention as they found a dancing visitor more entertaining

I don’t blame them. She had great dance steps .

Porcupines

If you come across a porcupine do not attack or go close to it . Their quills contain barbs you can’t see with the naked eye. And if you get stabbed with one . Go see a doctor do not remove them yourself .

The one by the corner is the only male porcupine in this prickle (prickle is what you call a group of porcupines). Guess he let the ladies rest ..

Antelopes

The Tortoise

This tortoise is 128 years old born in maiduguri Nigeria .He loves to eat grasses and just rest. He’s living the dream .

Here is mama and papa Tortoise . They welcomed a baby tortoise recently

Papa Tortoise 150years old and Mama Tortoise is 100years old .

The snakes

Don’t worry , it’s safe . They are placed in concrete , well closed cages with experienced staff around to handle accidents .

For a small fee (1000naira about $2)you can hold and take pictures with a selected group of snakes (they are none poisonous snakes with no fangs). But that can never be me .. haq haq haq…
