* * SOME SNAKE * *

Driving home from church in the dark my headlights hit on a large long thick object crossing the road. Slowing my speed I sat in horror watching the humungas python slither the last few metres to escape into bushland. Wow! that was some snake... I shook my head in disbelief. It was the biggest I'd ever set eyes on! And to top it off I'd noticed the bulge emphasising some poor unsuspecting animal had become its meal. Owning a little dog myself I felt sick wondering who would be missing their pet come morning. 

One disgruntled sheep farmer installed an electric fence to stop his sheep going missing.
These photos show a surprise at what he caught. 

The Culprit

The Diamond Head Snake can give a nasty bite, even leaving teeth behind in the victim
However, they are non venomous, killing their prey by strangulation.
They are noctural staying under houses, in roofs or up trees during the day.
Their length measures from 2-4 metres or 6 1/2 to over 13 feet long.....
Some people keep them as pets. My advice is, stay safe and don't trust!

Below is my grandson Luke with two of his special treasures.....

Unusual pets....but not harmful...

* Thou wilt keep in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.
