Nonno As a boy, in the old country, I used to capture snakes and lizards and put the in a wood and glass inclousure, I built for them, to observe, their behavior. I never thought one day I would have a grand-kid and beside female, who will be Africa-bound to help cheetahs in distress! That’s quite a way from little snakes to CHEETAHS!
