If you haven't read his snake post then hop over to here The snake that threatened HOS. It is just the best story.
Any way here is the resident python at Mataranka Homestead.
We thought we had been burgled. The office was a mess. Bin overturned. Papers everywhere. But no!
Just a python passing through on through on the way to the garden. In under the door. Once round the desk and off to find some shade.
And here comes the python head |
And now the python doubles back.

hoo boy - now that's the real deal!
ReplyDeleteYep. They have a bag in the office that they put the big pythons in and they take them back out past the springs. I have never volunteered for python duty.
DeleteMy closest big snake encounter was many years back when living at Mary Kathleen, near Mt Isa (not there any more). We were camping at the Gregory River, and a night loo trip by torchlight illuminated the biggest python I'd ever seen. I've never moved so fast...and never lived the screaming down!
ReplyDeleteI would scream too. I know they aren't poisonous but those heads are huge and they get cranky and hissy.
