Prony Delight!

After we explored the Bohol Museum , Mrs. Chona Ricacho told us that we will go to our next destination, the big snake of Alburquerque. We went to our buses and settled down for a while. After 30 minutes, we have reached Alburquerque. If you’re wondering what we are doing in Alburquerque, we went there because we will visit the home of a PHYTON SANCTUM which is 5 years in existence.

When we arrived, we were introduced to JingJing Salibay, the lady caretaker of the snake. We also met another caretaker who is as interesting as the python itself. She (well, he says that he’s not a man) told us some facts about the snake. She asked us to approach the cage and soon enough, she started discussing about the snake.

The snake’s name is “Prony”. Prony belongs to the family Phyton Sacntum. Prony was caught in 1996 in Sta. Fe, Albuquerque , Bohol weighing 5 kilograms and a length of 5 ft. then. Through the years it has grew into a monstrous creature now having a lengh of approximately 23 feet and has an estimated weight of more than 300kg. This is the biggest and the longest captivity of a snake ever known. Prony ate cats and dogs which should be clean and free of bruises. But the Animal Welfare Rights Activists told that this is illegal. So, they funded for the food of the said snake. Now, Prony is eating pigs instead. The funny thing is that, feeding is done only on Full moon. After she discussed, she made us touch the underwear made from the skin of Prony. It is really creative and you can feel the texture of the skin.

Soon enough, when she finished her discussion about the Phyton, we wandered around their little sanctuary. We saw that not only Prony was there but there were also many kinds of animals like owls, crows, love birds, puppies, chicken and also various types of snakes.

After roaming around, we were very curious what was happening when suddenly all the students gathered around the little nipa hut. As we drew closer, we found out that the gay will perform a sing and dance presentation for us. We were very excited that time to see her (or him, whatever, he's a gay) perform. As she started, we thought she was just an ordinary dancer or comedian performing for us but suddenly as the music went on, we can't help but laughed and chuckled. Know why? It's because of her performance, dirty dance moves and incredible energy that made us spit out our laghter. She crawled under a table and opened her mouth like she was going to eat the microphone. But, the funniest part was when she held her feet up to the wood, and started swinging like a monkey (good thing the wood didn’t break). Here are some snapshots of her while she's performing.

After the presentation, Mrs. Chona Ricacho informed the students to go back to their respective buses because we will go to our last destination. After taking pictures, we went to our buses and headed off. Next stop, the blood compact site of Loay…
