Mustard stars on World Snake Day
Mustard, the albino Burmese python, maintained his popularity among children and adults, resting comfortably inside his enclosure on World Snake Day on Tuesday, less than a week after biting zookeeper Walter Bunyon during feeding time.
He will remain in his regular enclosure, not accessible to visitors to touch, until the end of August. He has not been taken out since the incident last Thursday.
However, the skin he shed last week was on display and visitors were allowed to touch it as part of public education for World Snake Day.
At the snake house, over 15 different species of venomous and non-venomous
snakes were on display within their enclosures, including Max the boa constrictor (locally known as the macajuel) and Mustard. Others included the royal python, rainbow boa, tiger rattlesnake and the green anaconda.
