“Bran Dv” The Snake Charmer
thecircusblog | January 30, 2010
This snake is a reticulated python, also called the “Regal” Python. They can grow up to 25-30 ft in length and are extremely dangerous. After a large meal they can go without eating for several months. In captivity, sometimes it becomes necessary to force feed them. Photo given to the circus blog from Jack Badal.
