Goodness gracious me!!!
What on Earth did they expect to happen?
Let's put a native American mouse in with a native American rattlesnake, they come from the same region, it'll be fine!

I'd really like to get the further inside story on this. Some predators are just never going to take 'no' for an answer.

I co-housed some basilisks (smallish green lizards) with some 12 foot anacondas at the Philly zoo. It worked fine until the lizard walk between the snake and a wall, the snake twitched and smashed the lizard into the wall killing it. Snakes are difficult to co-house with anything. But then so are some turtles.

Chelonians and snakes don't mix well due to pathogens, but hopefully they were screened first.

It is very odd that the boa would have gone for the tortoise. Snakes are not smart, just big piles of reaction. Well maybe King Cobras are smart.

One of those things that makes you say "Hmm ?" Sort of like sheep and crocodiles both live in Australia , so lets put them together to see if they get along .

In the top link ,has anyone looked at the second video ,which shows the keeper is there ,I think he was afraid of the snake

 

[keepergale]

The keeper runs out to get the snake hook. Before breaking things up. Clearly afraid of the snake.

 

[pepsiandjac]

Don't blame him being scared of the snake, he went to take tort too but thought better of it

 

[leigti]

That poor tortoise. That is animal abuse.

Thank you for saving me from having to add that caveat. King cobras are scary smart. No snake should be that smart...

What did someone say the other day? "But I saw them mixing species at the zoo…"

Zoos are not the example for conscientious pet owners to follow!

And: DON'T MIX SPECIES!!!!!!!!!

 

[dmmj]

I think if you're afraid of an animal you should not own it.

They think, therefore they are.

But they do it at zoos, just like Grand Prix drivers do all kinds of things on city streets. It's not the example to follow, but to watch/look at.

I have a feeling this video is going to be brought out every time someone mentions zoo and mixing species lol
