Snake interaction at Animals in Wonderland – Featured Blog

Snake interaction at Animals in Wonderland:

Over the last couple of days I have done a few posts about the PE Geocaching community’s visit to Animals in Wonderland.  The main reason for our visit was an event celebrating World Snake Day and that was also the reason Animals in Wonderland was selected as the venue for the event.  Juan and Jeru has an extensive collection of snakes and other reptiles which they use as part of their educational visits (both at their premises or yours) and parties.  We were a fairly biggish group but with enough snakes to go around, we all – or most of us as some hid in the back – got the opportunity to handle at least one of their slithering pets.

Wallace the pig dog:

We have a couple of Daxies at home who think they are people and I have a friend who has a African Grey who barks like a dog and then says “I’m not a dog”.  But have you ever seen a warthog who thinks he’s a dog?  Spending an afternoon at Animals in Wonderland I met Wallace the warthog… I mean Wallace the dog… No wait, Wallace the pig dog… Wallace.   

Wallace is an orphan warthog who came to Animals in Wonderland as a tiny little piglet and was hand-raised to give him a shot in life.  Now Wallace runs around with the resident dogs, sleeps on a mat in front of the bed and sits when he’s told so.  He also like to have his belly rubbed like his doggy siblings. But who doesn’t?
