Goodbye Estella

With a heavy heart, we mark the passing of our dear Boa Constrictor friend Estella.

Estella and her clutch mates Esteban and Estrella came to Pacific Science Center in 2000 as young snakes. As they grew, each manifested a unique personality that belied the notion that all snakes are essentially interchangeable.

Estella’s nature was mellow, almost cuddly. She loved her food, loved her bath, and in general gave the impression of being fond of comfort and leisure.

We will miss her.
