Woma Python (Lionel)

Woma Python (Lionel)

Adopt Lionel

Hi, my name is Lionel and I’m a spectacular woma python. I am a true-blue Aussie, native to central areas of Australia – Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi! I’m incredibly photogenic as you would have seen when Chandler and I walked down the aisle together during his wedding here at Australia Zoo. I always smile!

 

 

Although not venomous myself, I have the capability of eating and being bitten by some of Australia’s most venomous snakes and surviving. Crikey! Luckily, I don’t have to worry about that here at Australia Zoo, as my keepers make sure I am safe, warm and they feed me all my favourite food items.

Like all woma pythons, when I am out in the bush I am a bit of a night owl, being more active when it’s dark. During the day I may be resting in cracks underground or under a log.  Here at the Zoo, I am more than happy to oblige for a photo opportunity, then my dazzling personality and good looks come out to play.

 

 

I hope you fall in love with me and my wild counterparts, as they need our support! Our native woma python population, found throughout the Brigalow Belt, is heavily affected by habitat destruction. Sadly, the fragmented population that remains in that area is endangered. Australia Zoo’s conservation property at St George is dedicated to providing sanctuary for a number of endangered native species, including my native cousins! You-beauty!

* Each guest pass is valid for a single day entry only, to be used within 12 months of adoption purchase. For Gold, Platinum and Ultimate adoptions, guest passes can be used for multiple single day entries for one person, or single day entries for up to the specified amount of people. For Gold or Platinum adoptions, if you are unable to use the included guest passes you can opt to swap the guest passes for a plush toy animal.

^ The encounter is subject to availability and must be pre-booked. Restrictions based on age, group size, and specific animals apply. Please note that encounters with some animals are not possible due to health and safety regulations (they include: saltwater crocodiles, tigers, elephants, snakes and iguanas); an alternative animal encounter will be substituted.

Please note: While all of the animals available for adoption are usually on display at the Zoo and/or participate in encounters, adopting an animal does not guarantee the chance of seeing or meeting them if visiting the Zoo. Animal availability is subject to change; there may be times when animals may be temporarily off display due to unforeseen circumstances, such as veterinary check-ups or habitat maintenance. If booking one of our amazing animal encounters to meet your adoptee, please advise staff of the animal you adopt at the time of booking.

Animal adoptions and associated elements are non-refundable, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.

It is important to note that adopting an animal does not provide a company or organisation license to promote Australia Zoo across their channels. If you desire to include in advertising and/or collateral including your website, further discussions will be required. If interested, please let us know and we can organise a meeting. Thank you again for your support!

*Please allow up to 3 weeks for the delivery of your gift pack, if applicable.
