#ThrowbackThursday – 3 July 1987
The Herald goes back, way back, to 3 July 1987, for this week’s #ThrowbackThursday.
It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 3 July 1987. In this edition we reported on Burry Smit of Randfontein who was a snake lover and kept them as pets.
To find out more about the topic, the Herald spoke to pet shop owner Jane Saunders, about keeping a snake as a pet in one’s home.
Among the things she told us, Jane said that snake owners should always take good care of them, and never take them for granted.
Jane also said there are some regulations that bind snake owners, and there are certain restrictions when it comes to certain species.
