See My Blue Tongue by byronbackyard
The carpet python is a nocturnal creature. It is most active at night. During the night time, it feeds, sheds, and does most of its other activities. The jungle carpet python usually reaches between 1.2-3M in length. The average is between 1.5-2M. The carpet python primarily feeds on small animals, including mice and rats. This species can be found in a number of different habitats. They are known to live near wetlands, in trees, and among reed beds that are dense and give them protection.

Is this at your house Deb???
Yep, right outside my window, she comes for the bush rats which clean up the seed that the possums and birds leave. I think it’s the same one which went right across the roof of my house and thumped down onto the verandah and nearly gave me a heart attack. Beautiful at a distance!

you got that right, from a distance and behind glass! I’m not afraid of them unless they’re poisonous, just not my thing! But they are beautiful.
Fantastic capture
Many thanks Kathy!
