snake in tree
Greetings to the group,
I think I may be posting to the wrong group but here goes.Today my dog Daisy(Jack Russell) was barking and I knew from the sound of her bark there was a snake in the back yard,she usually gets a couple of brown or whip snakes every year but when I got out she was backing off a bit which is unusual for her and then I saw why there was a snake that I estimate to be at least 8 foot long.I came out of the ferns and went into a tree in my backyard about 6 feet up and just stayed there,it is a beautiful looking thing.I think it may have ate something because it looked like it was asleep and I think that is what they do to digest their food.It is definitely a phyton but I do not know what kind but what I am trying to find out is how long it would have taken to grow that large.I am at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast if any one thinks they may know also what type of python it is, Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen, Best Wishes, Mick |

Can you get a decent look at the snake, Mick? A picture would be great, but in the absence of that, you need to be able to say what colour the animal is, what shape its head/nose are, whether there's an obvious 'neck' and roughly how long/thick it is. Comments on its behaviour and the way it moves might help as well. Lots of snakes come in lots of variable colour phases, so an accurate ID is often very difficult by hearsay. If the snake is as big as you say, *please* keep your little Daisy away from it! I reckon she'd be a safe bet for Mr Snake's dinner! I've seen a very large Diamond Python almost comatose after swallowing a rat or bandicoot: it was barely able to move and happily allowed itself to be picked up and moved off a busy road! Does yours have a large 'lump' in it, just past the head? Is anyone in your neighborhood missing a small animal? Best of luck in identifying your visitor - *do* let us know if you find out what it is! And please try and post a picture somewhere so we can all share the amazement! ;-D -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

g'day mick,
yep a pic would be good but for me the most common python up here is the carpet python aka carpet snake, and it is probably in your yard because you have a food source for it eg.,. rodents or maybe chooks, depending on the size of the dog it could make a meal but maybe the sanke might have to be somewhat bigger don't know? anyhow if you do a google or something search for the above snake you may ahve you answer. if the snake is in any danger you could ring your local wildlife officer they have an office on the sunshine coast. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gardenlen1/ |
