Better him than me

I'm fascinated by snakes.............on TV

I hope there is no intention to harm it! They are non-venomous and are great at eliminating rodents and the odd bird.

Talking about eliminating the odd bird - a friend's family had a feed and grain store, where they had a pet carpet python to keep down the mice in the warehouse. Between the warehouse and the shop/office out front there was a chute to deliver the bags of oats etc for sale.

One day this elderly lady was buying some bird seed and was looking for change in her hand bag. The snake heard the rustling and slid down the chute to investigate, the lady still finding change felt something on her shoulder and turned to see the head of this python at eye level peering into the handbag also. The old lady took a turn and had several days in hospital, so I guess that's one odd bird who survived.

Sorry for the odd bird, but

They also take possums and flying fox - fruit bats - it got one from our mango tree earlier in the year - swallowed it whole wings and all - was wanting to see it actually swallow the thing but left it too long between watchings

Absolutely not;

Post Discovery , A Policeman Turned up last night and arrested the Python , No handcuffs placed in a Bag and took it away , supposedly he didn't know what type of Snake/Python it was, well I would have thought any law enforcement officer or anyone for that matter who is handling a reptile such as a this Carpet Python not being aware of type of species would be silly enough to do so ? but from what my friend tells me he didn't know when "asked" , "what type of snake it was" ?
