KANGAR: As Perlis floods, it is not only man who needs to seek shelter on higher grounds, but the animals too. At the Snakes and Reptile Park in Sungai Batu Pahat here, the park employees were on hand to help move more than 20 snakes of various species. One of the park’s workers, Mohd Hafiz Alias, 27, said the park was inundated by floodwaters between 0.5 and 1.2m deep. “This is not the first time that we had to move the snakes to higher grounds due to flooding. Hafiz said although they are familiar with the snakes, they needed to be extra careful when handling the reptiles to prevent any untoward incident.
