 Pythons in suburbia. This one was photographed by GK on our property, but we have also seen them around the neighbourhood. At night, one appeared to be 'sunning' itself under a street lamp. Another was stretched out on a fence in a public park, and when I stroked it, it slowly curved its body into a figure eight. It then rose up in the middle of the formation, swaying as if dancing. It looked a little like one of those snakes that dances for snake charmers. Carpet pythons can grow to 4 metres in length. 09/03/06: GK spotted a carpet python in the daytime in one of the possum trees. 23/09/06: GK photographed a large python in the garden today. One photo shows its pretty blue tongue. This snake may be 2 metres in length, or even a bit more. 23/02/08: Another large carpet python, photographed in a tree. (About 4m off the ground.) Here's its face. GK was alerted to the presence of this one by the squawking of birds in the daytime. sugar glider |
