[D41]

Really?
I'd always assumed there'd be a few other tracks kicking around. But I suppose it makes sense now that I think about it.

Sympathy for a snake??

I've heard it all.

[Kwacky]

I like snakes.

People on the other hand.......

[D41]

Sharks aren’t the big issue with swimming in the Northern Territory

Shark Sandwich!!!....Spinal Tap. 1980-ish.

Apparently it pays to check the toilet before relieving oneself??

A woman in Aus. has been bitten on the ass by a snake that crawled through the u-bend!

That’s days old news D, was only a 1.6 metre carpet python. Just gave her a love bite and a fright, no real damage.

Even in the UK I check toilet roll tubes and under the seat for animals - I'd be terrible in Aus

that's about a foot smaller than the carpet python that lives in my front room. bless. ive lost count of how many times ive been bitten by carpet pythons haha, its how they say hello

[Deegee]

If it bites you to say hello, how on earth does it convey anger?

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but snakes, spiders and bitey things belong outside or at the mercy of pest control.

hello = bite

grumpy = bite

angry = hiss and bite

hungry = bite and dont let go

Carpet pyhtons are great! really lovely snakes, just a bit more bitey than other sepcies, at least they have a bit of character haha

Sounds a lot like my Macklots. Beautiful to look at but no matter what the question was a bite always seemed to be the answer.

I had 3 Burmese and only got bitten once and that was my fault as I was feeding and had rat smell on my hands.

The Royals were like little reptile bunny rabbits.

Yeah, Carpets have a reputation and mine most certainly lives up to it. semi arboreal snakes and anything arboreal normally likes a bit of a fight. Part of the same family as Green Tree Pythons and anyone who knows snakes knows how friendly they are!

My Boa is incredible laid back, only snake ive ever had that will even let you touch her face, like a royal in a lot of ways. shes never bit me or even puffed or anything.

When it floods and the croc watching is happening from your doorstep.

I thought you were in the middle of a heatwave?

[kiwikrasher]

Catastrophic bushfires in Tassie, tail end of the heat wave in sub tropical states and record flooding up north east.

Still hot up there, just fooking wet now too.

Case in point
