Just a python - give you a bit of squeeze that one - but they're alright.
We've got quite a few species over here that you are better off avoiding but I quite like the carpet snakes - well at least after I've worked out that there not a tiger or a brown or a black.
When I see photo's of the Grizzlies some of you North Americans have to worry about, I feel better about our snakes. Good solid boots, gaters and/or loose thick trousers are supposedly good enough to keep our snakes at bay. I'm pretty sure they would come up short against a bear.
Don't you just hate it when you're out to get a few landscape shots and there are jet trails everywhere... Sometimes you try and make the best of it or crop the photo.
