Thread: which Species of Snake/Python

We keep and breed carpet pythons they are great snakes.
Dad is also a member of wires (wildlife rescue)
and we rescue alot of snakes a year from peoples back yards and houses,once we caught about six carpet pythons mating in a guys roof
We have a local carpet python hanging around he is about 10ft and we found him once with a full grown brush turkey in his gut

CHEERS TIM.

When I was a kid in the 60s living in the northern suburbs of Wollongong we used to go hunting snakes on the escarpment - the Woonona pet shop would pay us $1 a foot for non-poisonous snakes and $6 a foot for poisonous snakes - we used to catch diamond pythons until Mum found out we were storing them under the house. Also caught a few red bellies as well until one of the other kids got bit - did get $30 for a big Goanna from the then Appin reptile park.

Oh those were the days before greenies and getting smarter - these days I wouldn't even consider going near a snake - leave them alone. My mum who is now in her 80s has even had a change oh heart - she has a couple of tree snakes in the back yard as well as a few bluetongues and does not get the pest man in too kill the cockies and other bugs in case the sprays kill off the reptiles or they eat a insect full of poison.
