Zoo Snake Refuses To Eat Pork.
New York, June 10.
Pat, a 26-fuot lady python at the Staten Island 200, turned up her nose at a stickling pig and threw the worried snakehouse people into a cold sweat.
She's been like that for six months, according to Frank Dickson, head keeper of the snakes and he said there was nu mistake about it, Pat wng "off her feed."
What makes the situation serious is that Pat is an expectant mother- on a wholesale scale-with $12,000 worth of prospective little pythons depending on her whims
"She's all wrapped up in her family," Dickson said. "Forty-eight eggs that are practically sure to be of doesn't die pythons, if Pat starvation before they hatch."
Pat herself is worth about $500 and the little snakes, ut current market rates, would retail at $250 each after they get their growth. It wouldn't have been so bad it Pat had behaved like any respect- able snake and buried her eggs in the sand. Then they might have hatched out by themselves.
But Pat is no orthodox mother. She insisted on wrapping herself around the eggs and incubating them with body heat.
This coupled with the fact she's on a vountory zero diet, has complicated things no end, and Dickson said the people in the snakehouse arc their wits end to know what to do nbout it.
