Evil Anaconda Farm

In an "anaconda farm" outside Iquitos. Got handed a sloth each to hold almost as soon as we were out the boat.



Very strange little animals..



Me and a matamata turtle.

Mikael with a 4 meter anaconda.

Anacondas and boas. The anaconda with a big rabbit sized bump would definitely have preferred to sleep another few weeks instead of being dragged out of it's (way too small) cage ..

They also had a small alligator and some turtles in an old fridge with about 10cm of water..

In the nasty "anaconda farm". Very distressed and unhappy monkeys each with a rope around their neck... We reported the place once we were back in Iquitos..hopefully it's closed down now..
