    Rip

    my mom text me today to tell me that there has been a death in woodland park zoo in seattle. the 20 year old reticulated python. he was 18 feet long and 185 lbs. definitely something to look at... one of the only animals there that i destinctly remember. but i guess he had heart problems.... and 20 years isn't too bad, right?

    Oh no! He was one of the few animals I remember from Woodland Park. I was raised in Seattle. He was a pretty boy...and will be missed.

    Hopefully they get another large snake in there or turn it in to a few smaller herp exhibits. 20 years old is a nice age for a large constrictor like that.
