Two Pythons in Cambodia are newlyweds today after a 2 hour ceremony to wed them by villagers. According to their beliefs, marrying the Pythons will bring good luck to their village
“We married these pythons to ask for health and prosperity in our village,” said 41-year-old Neth Vy, owner of female python named Chamrouen.
“We were told (by fortunetellers) that the two pythons are husband and wife and they need to live together, and if we don’t marry them we will meet bad luck,” said Neth Vy, who found the then-tiny python while fishing 16 years ago.
He has said that they have had good luck since making the Python part of their family, the male Python was recently caught by a woman who says she sees him as her son.
