I think I'll keep my Gibsons, I don't need any more snakes.
This one lives not far from my back door.
This is just the first metre or so (Photo from a few evenings ago)......taken just on dusk as the snake is laying in wait for a small mammal (we have Bandicoots, Native Bush Rats,Possums, Gliders and a couple of predatory marsupials on the property, as well as Wallabies and Kangaroos- but they would be too big for the python, I think)) beside a path in our garden. The "S" shape of the neck is in preparation for striking at prey. I checked several times that night and just before dawn and the snake had not moved from that position all night, until just on dawn when it retired under a tangle of bushes, where it spends the day.
Here's the shed skin I found in February. Over 3.5 metres but incomplete. The deck in the picture is 4.5 m long. I estimate the python to be over 4 metres, which is big for this type of python.
Apart from the python we have several other non venomous types on the property, as well as at least half a dozen potentially deadly ones in the area- I have seen three potentially deadly species on our property. Luckily, you don't see them very often and they are usually pretty shy unless cornered. The Kookaburras and other birds as well as the Goannas do a good job keeping snake numbers down by eating the smaller ones. We definitely don't leave any doors or screens open. Learned that the hard way. Internal access from garages is a bad idea too.
