Hi Uncle
Great pictures and good to see that the warning markers were put up to protect the snake. Good to see the surveyors markers put to another use.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi Grant,
its a fair size Black Headed Python. They can get aggressive, but are not venomous.

Black Headed Python on my
farm I saw last weekend. Have seen him a couple of times now. Lives near the piles of timber flitches from the sleeper cutters years ago.
He is as fat as my forearm and 3 metres long.

We were camped in the Gulf (Robinson River ) a few years ago and we had a King Brown about that size came into the
camp so we just sat there and he had a nose around for about 10 minutes, went between my legs under the chair. Showed no signs of aggression and eventually just went his own way. Since then we have learned not to move quickly when you see a snake and if your not aggressive towards them they will generally just move on. Fascinating to see them in their natural habitat.
