One of my colleagues found this in his driveway when he got home last week from Alice Springs. He lives at the accommodation attached to the training complex here at the moment (my colleague, not the snake). It’s a Carpet Python, which although are not considered venomous, still looks pretty scary to me. Not exactly what I would call a welcome home present. We are now all on the look out for it, Snakeman’s number ready on speed-dial.
