Young Israeli girl spends lockdown with friend: A huge pet snake
Reuters reports on a young Israeli girl whose best friend during the coronavirus lockdown has been a huge pet python.
“It helps me pass the time because I really like to hang out with snakes and sometimes I help snakes shed [their skin] and I help them to be happy during coronavirus,” Inbar Regev says.
Regev’s family runs an animal sanctuary in southern Israel.
Her mother Sarit says: “Inbar was raised with all these animals and she was raised with the snakes. When Inbar was little she swam inside the bath with the snake and now she has grown up and the snake got bigger, so they swim together in the pool. It’s very natural for us,” she says.
