Visited an interesting exotic pet shop at Tun Aminah this morning. Went to buy the UV light for replacement for the pond. And I was so captivated by those “pets”
Imagine a squirrel costing more than rm1000-2000+? I had to reframe looking at those scuffling ones at the LH hedges now with a diff $ perspective! ( “Free” range squirrels! Not caged too)
Not only that ….. snakes! Tortoises!Oh my! Ranging from hundreds to thousands too in RM. Such a shocking revelation of their value !
And then I saw the staff shredding the carrots and washing them and steaming them to feed those furry animals! ( I asked why go thru such a process? Thinking that we used to feed them raw!)
So it was a big eye opener this morning. Enjoy the “pets”!
Coincidentally, the pet shop’s name is Jurassic. I thot I was the dinosaur today and feeling quite a different “species”. 😂

Reflections:
After seeing those exotic snakes , was reading Matt 10:16 today.
Why did Jesus commanded us to be sent out like sheep among wolves? And be as “shrewd as SNAKES and as innocent as doves?”
Being born as a Chinese, we learnt our birth years with the animals zodiac which was to me a great “invention” of all times!
And so , yes, my birthyear zodiac happened to be a SNAKE!
Many frown at this creature. Nothing seemed good and positive. First , it was this fellow that tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Secondly, the mention of this made most think of negative - crafty. Sneaky. Baddie. Even some made racial jokes at this.
So I am glad that Jesus gave a positive peak at snakes!
He wants us to be “Shrewd” as snakes! yeah!!!!yeah!!
Thank God!!
