Hard to digest: Life’s a beach for python Hiss

IF YOU go for a walk on the beach in Laytown, Co Meath, this summer do not be surprised to find a man and his 14-feet-long python there too.

“It is good for his digestion to swim in the rock pools,” explained Peter Trinder, 49, proud owner of Hiss, the 4.2 metre albino Burmese python.

Exotic pets are the norm in the Trinder household — Peter and his wife Ann share their bedroom with Hiss and two other snakes as well as a Savannah lizard.
