Now I know Dreamworld isn't a zoo or anything but I'm really disapointed witht the quality of reptiles on display. Especially calling it an "Australian Reptile Experience". I'd post pictures but quite frankly it would be degrading to Australian pythons.

I remember seeing them a few years ago and didn't think too much about it. I've been again a couple of time since, the most recently being the other day. I think they must purposely over feed their snakes so they get big and fat. Probably to achieve a wow factor from tourist especially internationals. Off the top of my head their Jungle, Woma, Blackheads, and a couple of others were just really dirty looking, about twice as fat as they should be and a disgrace to pythons especially ones for display purposes. With the Woma and Blackheads you could hardly tell they had any patterns as they were just a plain brown, dull, dirty looking thing. Only difference between the 2 snakes was obviously there head.

Some were kept on red dirt and others, including the Jungle, on dead leaves and sticks.

Pretty much if you think of the worst examples of these snakes you've seen, then Dreamworld bought them and displayed them.

Anyway that's my rant and anyone who's been I'm sure will agree.

Cheers,
