[Batya]

eeks

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh how beautiful - he will keep rats and mice away. so stunning

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such stunning markings ! -

[Wylie]

gorgeous, lucky you. clean out the rats!

[Kathy A]

That’s something scary!

[Denise Wood]

Very scary indeed :)

[Jane Martin]

Wow! He is beautiful! Very strange for us in the UK to see this type of picture! A snake in the garden! I love snakes, and feel a bit jealous!..... but think having 2 small dogs and a snake in the loose, would probably have a bad ending!

[Annie D]

@koalagardens @beryl @pusspup I love pythons too - such beautiful markings

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@annied yeah pythons are awesome and they fascinate me. this one looks a good size by the thickness of it @janemartin I'd say it's a good couple of metres and would easily eat a small dog :) they eat possums, and I recently put up great video footage of one eating a large bird. that one lives in my garage ceiling. wonderful things!
@pusspup definitely, since my one moved in permanently, the rats are totally controlled (and I live above cane fields)

@annied @janemartin @gilbertwood @kjarn @pusspup @beryl @koalagardens @shilohmom @annied Thankyou all for your very interesting comments on this Python

[Annie D]

@koalagardens a powerful owl could take a small dog too - gotta keep your eye on the little ones hahahaha

[Esther Rosenberg]

Yikes, you tried it to move?

[Mariana Visser]

omg, I would move out

[Diana]

Oh dear, hope he moves soon.

[Merrelyn]

I can appreciate its beautiful markings but it would give me the heebee geebies too.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Yikes. Run, Margo, run. Cool shot, though.

[Bep]

Scary!!

[Monique]

😣

[Korcsog Károly]

Wow!

[Linda Godwin]

let him be, he will leave hopefullySOON

[gloria jones]

Yikes!

[Dustyloup]

that's close enough for me! ;)

[Santina]

wow, great capture, it's a beautiful snake, but I don't want to have him near me....

[Myrna O'Hara]

yikes

[SwChappell]

Uh oh! Nice capture but not a nice thing to find sure

[Diane]

Argh, scary, looks pretty happy though.

[Diane Owens]

Nice shot!

@eudora @dianeburns @swchappell @sailingmusic @santina @dustyloup @seattlite @rontu @kork @momamo @gijsje @mittens @merrelyn @ludwigsdiana @mv_wolfie @dutchothotmailcom @annied Thankyou all for your interesting reactions. I stood at the door & put a dry mop at it. He stuck his fangs out but didn't move While I was having my afternoon nap he slid away I did not look for him. We have lots in the village. They are harmless to humans unless cornered. I would have to move a long way away to get away from them

[Sarah 🌸]

Oh my word! It would have given me the heebie geebies too!!! 😳😱🐍

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I would never survive in your neighborhood! haha I'm deathly afraid of snakes- even the little ones that can be found around here. I would have called animal control in a panic. You are so brave to tell it to move- and to take a picture!

[Nina Ganci]

Oh dear!
Ready to move home?

[haskar]

It looks great, though I wouldn't want to live with it.

[Jane Pittenger]

Yikes
