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.

Hope is the emotion that drives us forward.
And Hope, the monitor lizard pictured below, is still very much alive after a hit and run yesterday afternoon.
She regurgitated her meal, possibly a toad (crushed on the road beyond recognition). While the blood in her mouth could be from her meal, our vet has cleaned up her bloody toe where she had lost a nail and will observe her road to recovery over the next few days.
Fingers crossed, we will update everyone on Hope's injuries and the poss...

"Now you see me, now you don't!"
A Banded bull frog could possibly be a victim of mistaken identity.
The ACRES rescue team was called to scene for a python in the garden, hiding in a hole with his head just visible.
As the team scattered leaves and probed for holes (a head) where the occupants pointed to, a plump, triangular body appeared among the fallen leaves. At this point, we're not quite sure who was more stunned- the officers, or the frog!
While no snakes were found in the premises, t...

Green iguanas are native to Central and South America. It is saddening and shocking to sight such exotic wildlife here in Singapore, smuggled in to meet the demand for reptiles as illegal pets. This poor adult male Iguana was found run over and dead on the roads on Sungei Tengah road, right in our neighbourhood - Another victim of the illegal wildlife trade being abandoned to fend for himself. ACRES currently houses 6 Green Iguanas rescued in Singapore, of which three of them are under critical ...
