Want to know more about snakes?
Fascinated by the beauty of snakes that
come in just about every color? Come along
with us in our Reptile Garden where
“LEGLESS ARE NO HANDICAPE!”
From ancient history, snakes
form has been celebrated in the
art and poetry of many different
cultures. Representation of
snakes are to be seen in the
sacred book of the Christian
where the subtle and beguiling
serpent was condemned for
encouraging the first women
into betraying God and was therefore responsible for the first
original sin.
In other parts of the world, snake legends and beliefs
too have been incorporated into the folklore of many countries: for
example, a gigantic snake name Sesha plays an important and
positive role in Hindu Legend. In Asia, many adopted the 12-year
calendar cycle in which every year is represented by an animal,
snake being one of them.
It is believed that those born in the year
of snakes are considered wise, persistent in business and enjoy
good fortune.
Put these aside, we at the Malacca Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary
are simply the snake lovers. We believe that one will not
take long to fall in love with these magnificent creatures.
Come along with us and take a closer look on their
scales, appreciate their incredible mobility, watch-out
for their defensive postures and so on.
