Claire: Today we were going on a hike in Shimba Hills wildlife preserve (it was very rainy) when we came up to a baby python!!! It was about one yard long, and six or seven inches around. You don’t know how cool it was! For a moment I was a little scared, but when the ranger said that it was only a baby, and wouldn’t hurt me, I thought it was awesome! But since it was a python, the ranger still thought it would be a good idea to walk around it, through the wet grass (but we were still only a couple feet from it). Can you believe that this python is the largest snake in Africa, and it can grow to be seven meters long?! I’m actually kind of glad the snake wasn’t full-grown, even though I do love snakes! Well, all in all this has been an amazing trip so far, and we’re having a blast!!!!!
