Mengwi Lizard park, Bali, MG Mia Asia 1997 part 2

OK, now you've read the legend of Joko Tingkir. Here are the photos of the various reptiles in the park.

This was a very cruel part. Here they are feeding some iguanas with live chicken. They throw in a bunch of chicken, one by one to the reptiles. Of course, this is standard behavior but it really felt bad watching the cute chicken being chased by the lizards. One of them managed to escape, it really looked frightened. And, wouldn't you ?

 

 

 

 

Here the lizards are fighting over a chicken.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The smart chicken who escaped went out in the water. There it managed to stay alive as long as we were visiting the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of them were pretty sleepy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A hot day at Bali...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Close up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A turtle, especially taken for our friend Emma Andersson in Lund.

 

 

 

 

 

We are hungry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have dinner ? Or, do you want to be dinner ?

 

 

 

 

 

Martin with a Python

Here you can see me with a Python. They promised me that my life was their responsibility so I decided to try out the python. It was 4 m long and weighed 20 Kg (45 IBS). I learned that it is a Malurus Python skin, whatever that is.

 

 

Trying to catch it. First I was a bit nervous. Wouldn't you ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

He wasn't to bad after all. Now we are getting to know each other.

 

 

 

 

 

I think he likes me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mia did not want to hug the python. But she did like to touch him.

 

 

 

 

More reptiles and snakes

OK, I did not manage to remember all the information our guide, Made Asa told me about the snakes. If you have information that I can add here on these pages, please email snakes@askero.se.
