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.

The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length
or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas
of South and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic,
but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 m long,
but have been known to reach 5.74 m .
Burmese pythons are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers. When young, they are equally at home on the ground and in trees, but as they gain girth, they tend to restrict most of their movements to the ground. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour. Burmese pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush.
Like all snakes, the Burmese python is carnivorous. Its diet consists
primarily of appropriately sized birds and mammals. The snake uses its
sharp rearward-pointing teeth to seize its prey, then wraps its body
around the prey, at the same time contracting its muscles, killing
the prey by constriction. It is often found near human habitation due
to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin as a food source.
Burmese pythons are often sold as pets Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.
