Kia ora Kamyar,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Neha. I love all these facts about snakes. I did see a snake in Steve Irwin's zoo in Australia. I went there with my family and my cousins. Did you know that snakes can poo and it like the size of a rock. I saw a snake shedding it's skin. The snake that is saw was probably a Python or Anaconda.
Thank you
Neha
