?? You go catching snakes without knowing what sort it is??

Reminders of my neighbour's story.. he was posted to an admin position in a private school in Alice. Down comes the news that there's a snake in a classroom. Said neighbour panics, starts ringing police, insurance cos. etc. When he got their, the girls had long since caught it. And cracked it.

Can anyone identify this snake?
Maybe Aaron can come & catch it.
I found it on the verandah last night when I went to feed precious, our cat.

One good reason not to let your kitties out at night....

FWIW You never want to be bitten by a trouser snake, as it takes 9 months for the swelling to go down.

Well thanks for that DeeJay ... I'm even more paranoid now. I have 4 cats one of them is as deaf as a post! I'd have a full blown coronary if I came home to see my poor cat strung from the rafters. Please tell me it didn't suffer

(Or alternatively LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH)

Precious did'nt suffer, he had terminal cancer and was on $30.00 worth of painkillers a day. He would'nt have felt a thing.
Believe me, I drive Landrovers I would'nt lie to you

Nicce!

Id catch a Tainpan to prevent it getting to my 18month old nephew. Why didnt I move my nephew, the situation is hard to explain, but wasnt the best option.

Sorry about your cat DeeJay

If your still living in Sydney your verandah must stretch all the way to Nth QLD for you to have that Amythestine Python on it

, unless its an escaped pet.Interestingly, being Australias largest python, up to 6m,they are the reason that Feral Cats and foxes are not much of a problem in the tropical northern rainforests.
