Spring has sprung here at Maru! 🌿🌸
Spring brings many changes across Victoria; blooming wildflowers, warmer weather, baby animals and the emergence of reptiles from brumation!!🐍☀️
Unlike mammals, reptiles are ectotherms, meaning they rely on their external environment to regulate their body temperature and important bodily processes. When temperatures drop, reptiles have less energy available for these processes, so to survive the colder months many reptiles enter brumation; a natural, hibernation-like state where their metabolism slows down, allowing them to conserve energy until warmer weather returns.
Luckily Rocky the Rough Scaled Python lives in a temperature-controlled habitat that allows him to stay warm and active all year round! 💚🐍 Though he does enjoy basking out in the spring sun! ☀️

Psst... Father's Day is around the corner, have you booked?
We’re stoked to be partnering with local legends Phillip Island Brewing Co. 🍺
Their Koala Pale Ale is cold, smooth and tasty, with subtle hoppy dryness, spicy citrus aromas, a nutty malt finish and a few tropical fruit notes thrown in for good measure. Basically, a pretty perfect match for a plate of ribs.
So here’s Dad’s Father’s Day plan: ribs, beer and mini golf. 🍖🍺⛳
Every dad who pre-books and dines with us for lunch this Father’s Day will receive 1 FREE Phillip Island Brewing Co. Koala Pale Ale. Plus free mini golf and park entry. And don't forget the inaugural Father's Day Mini Golf Tournament.
Because socks are fine. But ribs, beer and mini golf? Better.
Book your lunch at Maru now.
