Last October, someone came to the office to sell discounted tickets for a trip to the Manila Ocean Park. Since I haven’t tried this oceanarium yet, I decided to take advantage of this ticket sale. > The Manila Ocean Park is an oceanarium in Manila, Philippines. It is owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm. It is located behind the Quirino Grandstand at Rizal Park It opened way back March 2008. So I got this ticket which includes: -Oceanarium -Sharks and Rays Dry Encounter -Sea Lion Show -Jellies Exhibit -Creepy Crawlies -Symphony Evening Show ![P_20180121_105413.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeNNABmxpE1dzmurjQCBu2D2gw7EzipuUs7JPiEvTMMQo/P_20180121_105413.jpg) So we're done with the 2 sea lions Vincent and Sandra.. See my previous post here: https://steemit.com/philippines/@sanuk/sanuk-goes-to-manila-ocean-park-part-1 ## Second Stop: World of Creepy Crawlies ![P_20180121_115019.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQX2d6aWgJKKQGQm2Se7LoSEgmcFxewKYV1bCmEoYouE7/P_20180121_115019.jpg) I'm not scared, but I just don't like snakes. I thought of getting one as a pet before, but my mom doesn't want, even just the small ones. Here in the Philippines, for some superstitious belief that if you have a business get a pet snake as it brings good luck. Here are some pictures of the snake here in this section, most of them are rat snakes and milk snakes. ![FB_IMG_1516607269716.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZQeExAT96Ah1Yb3TzJvCprBz4j5r5fmUx2dngWPemvNE/FB_IMG_1516607269716.jpg) ![P_20180121_114503.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSvYbrzsMceqLv7LqybogxTtUe6uk6V7y1SSiNvGyi7RS/P_20180121_114503.jpg) ![P_20180121_114525.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdo4vjgwFWsYgyZVhUvaxcjTxq2K3Zpbr5bRYmpakTCoy/P_20180121_114525.jpg) ![P_20180121_114619.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPPqng5h6VfYpUgau39Gwny6B8hXQKBRnJKLYk5YBSysV/P_20180121_114619.jpg) ![P_20180121_114559.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeNS3uzYsuEQSM4wNogigrruMvBsUBxCAkDagiFCWrrLe/P_20180121_114559.jpg) ![P_20180121_114609.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRmQ3iGSp6R1XQPWGoAwhjjPqdoUudi5tNuMCq25LGRVC/P_20180121_114609.jpg) This one is the biggest of them all, an Albino Python if i can remember it right. I wonder what are they feeding this one. I think its body is the same of an adult's thighs. Imagine how heavy this snake is. ![P_20180121_114727.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcBwpzQj2u1WTkvEWyyk7eysUJh9kUPpZa4KfqrNphPb6/P_20180121_114727.jpg) ![P_20180121_114734.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZXCRbBDDFNa1DyjwAkahxc7cpvE9WZBYLcggc5Bp8KtR/P_20180121_114734.jpg) There's also some turtles in here: ![P_20180121_113905.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfFpgbMaV91nBtaUXT8CxCpg2QG7dHpqsE2LfqAYMxSaD/P_20180121_113905.jpg) ![P_20180121_113911.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmePqn7DEcoeMn9UmJHHW7PTtF6feZMCT6iUX7dmGMCE1p/P_20180121_113911.jpg) ![P_20180121_114031.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmck6hRYAhgWc4vZMij7hQS79ogy1onEjaFB4XLQQHxVQq/P_20180121_114031.jpg) ![P_20180121_114036.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbei9TCRrQhrw9RVpmka8D5czrtkphn4R11JxBh1cCmk3/P_20180121_114036.jpg) ![P_20180121_114047.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZFg9f9BxRtgu2C5v9rTESYyvdMeH9on4yR7554Eyi3fY/P_20180121_114047.jpg) ![P_20180121_114841.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQtxANJYFUVJd6qY5BMGxygYkccHGFWn39DRcYSWKxvLQ/P_20180121_114841.jpg) /center> These cute frogs: ![FB_IMG_1516607321800.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVFQuLkzGdcu8gigDiu1LBmCC8pewD8LhhxVYqnVNyQKF/FB_IMG_1516607321800.jpg) ![P_20180121_113452.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb3zShVCdDtr9K3RSqh8koWHyx9xh5aKiVNWELJhiWWJH/P_20180121_113452.jpg) ![P_20180121_113345.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPrL4ZKyCuAXkyWXCFpZgFugLyhrMZ3RNMjMtNkwhNxoa/P_20180121_113345.jpg) ![FB_IMG_1516607324541.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmckgtcGhFESxi9a6HCXvSPp212StASM445ogoi3fZBHZh/FB_IMG_1516607324541.jpg) ![P_20180121_113430.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWT1aKBHAavWkiZ2pQr7kPmuCP4neYy2sZPSJP9CtajWC/P_20180121_113430.jpg) ![FB_IMG_1516607327566.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTC2VGc5NRyQWZRB91GTndKWXo1MVZk9fFeR2F7W6AuLv/FB_IMG_1516607327566.jpg) ![P_20180121_113331.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRfwKQ9hPLDisAQwrT3DqMSqvJhG1xJxKRaK2bqydv3FQ/P_20180121_113331.jpg) ![FB_IMG_1516607332834.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVFKbtCgYcUD87RMycxGvoV8giwgSjgeFbisB68MZqLtS/FB_IMG_1516607332834.jpg) ![P_20180121_113300.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWhEbpSDBTLGfntXo72SWThEhYUXfVkxEMtJtW7nL2Qh6/P_20180121_113300.jpg) However, these cute frogs are called Poison Dart Frogs. Did some google searching and found out that > The frogs' poison is found in their skin, making them too toxic to touch. While most species are considered toxic but not deadly, they are distasteful to a predator and can even be fatal. The poison can cause serious swelling, nausea, and muscular paralysis. Yikes! So moving on, here are the non cute frogs: ![P_20180121_113937.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRwtz5QYvLW57oaqCVB5EA117KKMWh1tBgqNBQJ9pyqTQ/P_20180121_113937.jpg) ![P_20180121_114225.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUYNYcDRDKp7KwERcBq87WSei2FcCaAJZXbYjxp7sFTWp/P_20180121_114225.jpg) ![P_20180121_114237.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNxq9BfsehmQVMj8XQYPBifN5HcJRz1QLjCPtWPTCecQZ/P_20180121_114237.jpg) This one is sticked to the glass, amazing! ![P_20180121_114811.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTTiDczuDj2K8GxxEHHFymTnMpnntSjxpUbHL5wPCKA8q/P_20180121_114811.jpg) Here's the top view: ![P_20180121_114828.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbnVwWGYfovR41RGTfGSxpwmE2EWGcpHAvfXnBsav6Vap/P_20180121_114828.jpg) This one looks like a dressed chicken! Excuse me for those who are eating!

I was able to taste one and it just tastes like chicken! Moving on to my favorite part of this section, the reptiles! ![BTS (6).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfDMJN8detpWDzP9ES6XDoFUMx872CckV24gDxXWHbk8j/BTS%20(6).jpg) ![BTS (3).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUfE45DQiEn9BRG9NkB9zNZLtgSSzpwWNUpMeRYjTcuxP/BTS%20(3).jpg) ![BTS (5).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUUg7fuPK8iVLvyYe5PGUq7jkfYmtjc7kE3uCLHRkFxia/BTS%20(5).jpg) ![BTS (4).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUvrvz3ghZWwBs9tfnc1xjeixGJ72XbadusSKFqDt285h/BTS%20(4).jpg) ![BTS (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWKRTQDAaJa7Zs8wpQnqsEiFK9S8QPYp27MzWLR9KLSiQ/BTS%20(1).jpg) ![green (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXndGW31FkNgKsWVKhbTT8nRNvgWNJKHYvCgN2DPgcRMh/green%20(1).jpg) ![green (2).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYVAKLZBU1QzpsWtCADCunEVMyQQL5NgX8LnX3GX5BpAW/green%20(2).jpg) ![green (3).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmesHwjXr4For3K19MLJa5Zo5NdCzAxYsMCXsEPVR4Koum/green%20(3).jpg) ![tuki (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQiKPT1dC1Aii1UUhQ1Z6jqKYf2R5WH4uXgyukfqFoE75/tuki%20(1).jpg) ![tuki (4).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmchQ94nZAiFLkAk5izCjfa96KEWNWGRkqefXzi5pki7zM/tuki%20(4).jpg) ![tuki (3).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdqMfaLyWuDpZY9Fjqq2Jx5XhJDfPXhtBDYBjYN4WLM1d/tuki%20(3).jpg) ![tuki (6).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNpD6AtfrQZ1U1RgwhzRqQtnYZpbjU3jwfahvrekEWn8K/tuki%20(6).jpg) ![tuki (5).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbFwK96hFQmrcKxfskAvo87oNDFgh4Zx1J74umTUbgEyW/tuki%20(5).jpg) Karma, karma chameleon 🎜 🎝 ♩ ![lizardo (11).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNwWqLGjxnNdvrM824FbMiUKMGin7p6ayKhWdxpB2RD2C/lizardo%20(11).jpg) ![lizardo (17).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVpTwxTs4PKACJ2WGspQypxtGTCXDNafoEknoWHV3sCve/lizardo%20(17).jpg) Iguana's and some lizards that I forgot what kind :D ![igua (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPLP3s3JYShPxBcLz6giQ5EA24wrbZskfRb6rmYjfqfom/igua%20(1).jpg) ![igua (3).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXdGPFWnHWHwpgXcr3ZdgMQ7DGMWmnUqkTf9xjiF28xrE/igua%20(3).jpg) ![igua (5).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmStoXiaDEuXs7cP8MpeTgH9JvCfFDKnU7Ebkb6bLFQdcM/igua%20(5).jpg) ![lizardo (18).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTsx5Lpf5MjSs3XxANp5sy4nizRFbhrRqx5sm27XM5ztV/lizardo%20(18).jpg) ![igua (4).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmafAmWShYF7W6SSraoSWFL1nwkMkSyEFwCzxBmz24iFUj/igua%20(4).jpg) ![lizardo (24).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWi9uFZJzwdu8BAxckFmL86qdWQxAeBJknExGqNJUs34/lizardo%20(24).jpg) ![lizardo (6).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSM86qYV4eDqqVJUA3t827FyEzAKcvQifR5RMRTqU1ReK/lizardo%20(6).jpg) ![lizardo (32).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYSy234CV9UW4rSpQoSvKhea9NqJZfuU7fF1sRtraqC2H/lizardo%20(32).jpg) and these are my favorite models! ![maam lizardo 1 (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQkPEHd9xEZ84a88Vfy57DDmpyoQu3eQejfunWirUNvAP/maam%20lizardo%201%20(1).jpg) ![maam lizardo (2).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmT1tAdYpn4NuHthU8CaC4sQqjw9P3t1fTXNUS3dXEX4Tx/maam%20lizardo%20(2).jpg) are you thinking what i'm thinking when I saw this? ![maam lizardo (3).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbP126sjk4EuhBW3GcTNgAHeVH6aDCLHxvJGSfjg8ujA9/maam%20lizardo%20(3).jpg) ![maam lizardo (4).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYMwMfbgqvNFvEnAqu2HKQjcVJX2vgRBEPC4sMdKySFyu/maam%20lizardo%20(4).jpg) ![maam lizardo 1 (2).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWmnNhMjfFHKSFRC1mkv4KsoUgKifS5TLwEekgdxXbUsr/maam%20lizardo%201%20(2).jpg) and he (or she) got tired or maybe shy. ![maam lizardo (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXcnmBPdc4wGoJFQqrwGpLVMEcSexwqVAn5waBkxQdt5T/maam%20lizardo%20(1).jpg) Thanks for putting up with me once again, part 3 will be posted soon.
