Meet the common blunt-headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa). This nocturnal reptile uses its keen eyesight to hunt for prey including small lizards, frogs, and eggs. In fact, this snake’s “googly” eyes can measure up to 25 percent of the length of its head! It can be spotted slithering through the treetops in parts of Central and South America.

My giant Aldabra tortoise Oliver I raised him from a hatchling is now 40 years old, Oliver is very active Aldabra tortoise with a big personality he is the first one out and the most aggressive looking for food he is an aggressive breeder and really likes to engage people when they come to the farm Oliver doesn't like banging noises when he hear a banging noise he runs to his house he thinks that is a signal he has to go away for a cold night some of his favorite foods are Banana, Carrots, pumpkins and melons Aldabras like Galapagos tortoises can live well over 200 years which means Oliver is a young teenager. I wonder what adventures his life holds for him 100 years from now, hard for us to imagine Aldabra tortoises are social animals living groups, some individuals build close relationships with other Aldabras tortoise, they also build strong relationships with their owners and keepers If they become separated they typically go through a long mourning period often not eating and hiding Aldabras are much more active than people think, especially in the morning, and use their long necks to reach and gather food. They seek shade or dig burrows to keep cool during hot days, and can even swim if needed! #tortoise #turtles #aldabragianttortoise #tortoiseoftheday #tortoiselove #reptiles #wildlife #galapagostortoise #nature

The Malayan Brown Snake is a large, slender, and fast-moving colubrid snake found in South Kalimantan’s forests, wetlands, and river edges. It has a brown to reddish body with faint, darker patterns and a pale underside. Adults can grow over 2 meters in length, making them one of the bigger snakes in their range.

This snake is diurnal and semi-aquatic, usually hunting near rivers and swamps. It feeds on fish, frogs, and small vertebrates. Rather than constricting or using venom, it uses quick strikes and agility to catch prey, often ambushing from water or foliage. They are alert and rely on speed and camouflage to hunt and avoid predators.

Malayan Brown Snakes are oviparous, with females laying eggs in hidden, moist areas near water. Hatchlings are fully independent and start hunting small prey immediately. They can live around 10–12 years in the wild.
