It’s #WorldSnakeDay, so it’s only fitting that today’s Exhibit of the Day highlights the Indian Python exhibit. Here, a mom-to-be is depicted incubating her eggs. #DYK? A python will safeguard & tend to her eggs for up to 9 weeks at a time, leaving only occasionally for a drink.
An Indian python is in a rock crevice with her body coiled tightly around her clutch of eggs.
