My hero dad caught this huge python in his neighbors chook pen. You can see the bulge in it's stomach from eating a chicken.
He then re-located it to a beautiful part of the rainforest beside a lovely creek.
Carpet Python, just over 2 m long. These snakes are not harmless to small animals including birds, but of present no threat whichsoever to humans. If they are killed by humans, it must be due to either ignorance or some phobia.

From the local biweekly paper of the region:
SNAKE CAPTURED IN LOWOOD ROAD
Around midday on 20 April 2010 Council staff received reports of a snake in Lowood Road, outside the Council Office. The Council's Ranger Ray Parry was soon onto the job and Mr Keith King was called from Mount Barker to capture the reptile. This was efficiently and effectively completed in a few moments and the snake was identified as a South Western Carpet Python and which is generally considered harmless.
The snake was around 1.5 m long and it is thought that it probably attached itself to a fire appliance after the burn offs that occurred near the shire depot in Langton Road the night before.
The snake was subsequently released back into the bush although there had been a suggestion that it be released into the ceiling space in the Council Administration Office in an attempt to address the mouse problem.
