Who loves you?

We went to the zoo today and lucky me, Gabby put on a wonderful display the entire time I was there.
-It's infuriating how kids think it's okay to come up and bang on the glass. The poor dear was just minding her own business.

-Yes I named her. I'm in love with this snake.

Awww aint you a star!!!

What a glorious snake, and stunning photographs, thanks so much for posting them! (How did you know I'd be the first to respond to this thread?? )

Hmm people banging on the glass.. rings a bell - I just usually stare at them and if that doesn't work, publically humiliate them by informing them loudly that they shouldn't do that as it stresses out the animal! (The latter works a treat )

Bet you had a great day, and you know what happens when you name an animal.. you have to bring it home!!!

Hmm.. intuition?

I wanted to hug her, but I'd probably end up puffy and then I'd die.

Yeah, I kept saying to people "Can't you read?!" and they'd start stammering and walk away.

People are dumb! - what would be hilarious, and justified IMO, (but the zoo would probably get sued ) is if the gaboon happened to get its fangs into some of the people banging on its glass.. they might not do it again then eh!

Thanks once again for the pics - you know those are getting saved to my desktop!

Very pretty Viper!!!
I hate it when people say " I can't see this animal!" And the zoos had to put up barriers because other people were bothering the animals so bad that they were stressing out and dying! Some people shouldn't be allowed in zoos without a proper talking to before they get to go in!
