Patricia the Python:
Patricia is a reticulated python who came to us after suffering a motorcycle accident in her home country of Indonesia. Despite her uncanny ability to sense movement in the ground, Patricia's normal razor sharp reflexes failed her, and she was subsequently sent to us for rehabilitation. After living in our sanctuary for nearly two years, she met 12-year-old Arnold, with whom she instantly hit it off. Arnold adopted Patricia and took her to his home in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Knowing that reticulated pythons prefer the steamy tropical climates of rainforests, Arnold built her a habitat in his mother's sauna, so that Patricia would be comfortable. Arnold's father sent us this heartwarming photograph of the two best friends spending some quality time together.
