Fantasia, the beloved albino Burmese python at the Children’s Museum, celebrated her 15th birthday this weekend — and was promptly rolled out to her full length for the first time in years.
A team of workers stretched the 260-pound beast to 19 feet, 6 3/4 inches on Saturday morning, several feet longer than the last time she was measured when the museum acquired her nine years ago.
Later, she celebrated her birthday in Fantasia fashion: devouring a whole rabbit in one extended gulp.
