Beaufort Pet Parade not just for dogs and cats

Denise S. CahillEastern Reporter

PET lover and burlesque performer Jane Lovell will be entering her pet Woma pythons Womy and Marigold in to the Inglewood on Beaufort (IOB) Pet Parade on Monday, February 26.

Lovell said while the animals did not provide the affection of a cat or dog, the snakes, lizards and stick insects she shares her Armadale home with aren’t demanding when it comes to love and attention.

“Water, heat and an occasional feed and they’re happy,” she said.
