Picked Up Another Cute Little Critter Tonight

[CraigE]

Little Black Headed Python. Was up in the Pit and rescued before being run over by a Dozer.
Third one for the night already and it was only 2130. Did not have the camera, but had to pick up and remove a Pygmy Python (smae last night) and move on a large King Brown.

Ooh - no way! Glad that is your job and not mine

Not actually our job. Is the enviros job but they are never available. I like the pythons, but not the King Browns so much. The black headed python was absolutely gorgeous. Much better than seeing it get run over by a Dozer.
My daughter wants one as a pet.

they are nice looking snakes, can sometimes be a bit aggressive in captivity, i have had one before, stimpson pythons make great pets, I have two now plus the normal old south west carpet pythons. illegal to keep them without a license of course.

Beautiful snake, and they grow big.
I would like to have one in my garden to look after the cats

Its one of my jobs now here at the SMR

Quite enjoy it actually.. Nothing like watching those who dont understand or have a fear of them as you casually walk up and pack them away for relocation...

Recent was a very fast, very fiesty King Brown... Just picked him up, put him in the container, dropped it on the front seat of the LV and went for a drive to relocate him.

Very nice Craig!!!!
Always awesome finding a herp in the wild...I found a carpet out at Lucky Bay(you remember where that is ??) the other weekend, though I think he had been given a whack by someone as he wasn't moving too well.

Not to sure about moving a venomous one out of the way though...my only experience so far has been a 200mm long tiger we found on the patio.

Am happy with my Stimson at the moment, though want a carpet or olive soon

Lucky Bay, you have just brought me to tears.
Gonna have to go and get my catch/release licence I think and maybe one for a python.
Lots of little pygmy pythons up here they are gorgeous, shame you are not allowed to keep them.
To many ignorant people, even most venomous snakes are generally dosile.
