SYDNEY – Just in time for Valentine’s Day, a zoo in Australia is holding a contest where the prize is a venomous snake named after your ex.

The WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is letting people submit the name of their ex along with a reason why they deserve to have one of the world’s most venomous snakes named after them, plus a $1 donation.

The winner will receive a certificate and be allowed to visit the snake every day for free for the next year, according to the zoo.

In a post on the zoo’s website, Mark Connolly, general manager at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo said, “We hope that by providing someone unlucky in love the opportunity to name WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo’s very own brown snake after their ex, we can give them something else to celebrate on Valentine’s Day this year…”

The winning name will be chosen by the zoo’s reptile team and will be announced on Valentine’s Day.
