Bohol's famous snake, Prony, dies


Prony, the famous snake in Alburquerque, Bohol, died last Tuesday (August 14) of still an unknown cause. Visitors and tourists often include in their province travel a visit to this famous snake in Bohol. I haven't seen the snake in person so I will have to see her in a preserved state as the owners plan of preserving her and exhibiting her at the snake's den.

Prony was captured in Alburquerque last October 31, 1996. When captured, she was at 5 feet long and 5 kilograms in weight but has grown into 23 feet and around 280 kilograms.

Tourists and visitors who have visited her will surely miss the snake and sadly, future visitors won't see her alive now.
