I have not seen a snake

I'm so happy that I have not had a snake encounter in the year that we have been in Tanzania. No snake has slithered across my path. I've heard snake stories and we saw a dead one that a Maasai had killed when we were camping in the Maasai plain, but no up-close-and-personal snake meetings for me.










My recent visit to the local Snake Park was very educational. There are many venomous snakes indigenous to the area. Black Mamba, Green Mamba, Spitting Cobra and various vipers. Pythons and boas too.





Our guide assured me that this
Rufous Beaked Snake was harmless.





The baby crocodiles were so cute! This guy was 3 years old. He was very active and had a mouthful of small very pointy teeth.













They grow up to be one of these guys, which aren't so cute. His teeth were BIG and pointy. I'm definitely not planning to go swimming in any rivers around here!!
