    Anyone want a snake

    Started off here as a little bugger about 16 years ago.
    Moves around the sheds dropping its skin every now and then.
    Getting bigger all the time.
    Now its knocking my wifes pots and stuff over and making a mess in my shed.
    Wife says its time for it to go.

    It must be eating something to get that big. You will probably have a mouse or rat plague ( or cat) if it leaves.

    Not that I have much experience but I have always found pythons quite docile.

    Just what I was thinking. We have several of them here and "Yes", they are a bit messy in sheds as mine like to knock everything off the top shelf closest to the roof and lie there in the heat coming through the tin roof but they do have their benefits.

    They're not silly either as they didn't knock their water bowl off!

    We used to have a lot of possums . Not any more.
    Its been sleeping on top of the closed roller doors and when I go into the shed and open them from the inside it falls off and lands on top of me.
    Its moved under the fridge for a while. I guess it will move on tonight.

    Pickles.
    I tried to pull it out from inside a roller door as I thought he might get caught. Its pretty strong and can hang on. I was pulling hard and things started to crack so I let it be. They are slow looking and move really slowly but it gave me a fright once by striking at a broom. They can strike really fast.
    Deceiving, I think it would bite all right if annoyed enough.
