I found these pictures i took last year of a brown tree snake that sqeezed into my rodent cages. Killed some mice and ate one. Caught him and kepted it till it finished digesting, left me a pooh and put back in the scrub. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Or have caught one trying to get into there rodent cages? I also caught my carpet like that when he escaped his enclosure.

Yeah i had a little carpet try to get my rats a few years ago. My husband come and woke me up to have a look, and when i picked it up he freaked out. That was before i got him used to the idea of having snakes around. |

Here's one that tried to help himself to our rats, I gave it a feed and it went on it's way.

attached are some pic's of a wild children's that found it way into a friends rat cages. It polished of at least 3-4 little rats, as you can tell by it's bellies. I guess it's one way to see what wild varieties are in your area if you keep you rodents outside

Found a yellow faced whip snake trying it's luck. However i think it would have been the eaten not the eater as it was only about 300mm long

I've found a few browns and RBB's in the avairy. They apparently enjoy a lil quail on the menu. This is how I found out that RBB's don't only eat frogs

I found a carpet in my rat trap that is made from an old bird cage(vertical bars), it had 2 big lumps 
I have also found larger carpets ontop of my rat cage but they couldnt get in.

Thats one fat childreni yommy.
Hix had a pic of a big RBB that got into his aviary and ate some quail a while back and Pythoninfinite gets a few up his way.
All I get trying to get to the mice in Sydney is feral cats, rats and male mice!

I'm sad about only seeing carpets in the wild.
I've seen heaps of snakes, but only ever carpets and vens,  I would love to see a small python. I was in noosa and was removing them out of people's places all the time. I know i didnt' have a license to do it, but when they're in averies bigger than most sydney houses (resort over river in Noosa) and houses that either i remove or they get the chop I didn't really care.
