Residents of the Association for Persons with Disability’s (APD) Centenary House in Polokwane had an extremely interesting daytrip to the Polokwane Bird, Snake and Reptile Park on Tuesday during which some of them were able to experience what it felt like to have a boa constrictor draped around their necks.
The group was very interested in everything Elijah Sebola, who works with the snakes, had to tell them and also asked several questions such as what a puff adder is fed (mice) and whether a boa constrictor is venomous (no).
The day ended on a high note with a delicious picnic.
