There’s no better time to stop and smell the flowers – except when you’re unloading an animal carrier filled with python secretions.

Reticulated pythons have a tendency to secrete a nasty liquid to repel their enemy and make a run/slither for it.

Luckily, the rescue team has a row of Jasmine shrubs, now in full bloom, back at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre to comfort their sense of smell.
