|  | Regular Member | | | | Trying to identify a wild python
I was just playing a round of golf at albany creek golf course in brisbane and i lost my ball into the rough. It happened to land almost on a snake. I was wondering if i could get some help identifying it. He was all black with small purple bands all over him, and was about 2 meters long. I am pretty positive he was a python. Just not sure what type. I tried to get a photo but only had a camera phone on me at the time.
Any help would be fantastic. Cheers

A scrubbie can look black and purple in certain lights....

scorps: I'm not stirring! If is was a python from Brisbane and it was 2m long, it was a Carpet. If there is some sort of Australian python which is black with purple bands, I do want one, especially if it is a scrubby!
swingonthespiral: I love some types of pythons, my favourite snake is a python 
jesus: if you have a picture, even a bad one from your camera phone, it will quite likely enable us to give you a definite diagnosis.

Sdaji, I've seen more than one scrubbie that could be described as having 'purple' on it If I was really searching for words. A little bit of irridecence, some moisture, the right light, (ie, early morning light sliding through dewy grass) have had more than one person ask me about 'that snake with the shimmering purple' only to be confronted with a very average lookin scrubby. Im not saying thats what it is, most likey just is a carpet, but nothing in nature is definate. Blackheaded pythons with white heads proved that along time ago

My dodgy theory is it's a mutated scrubby cross diamond python. they met between where they are usually found and did the deed and the rest is history. Or mutated scrubby cross jungle... either way i want to see a pic now!

Indeed Sir Rednut...... they seem to have a beautiful purple shining quality when they are launching themselves at you in the middle of a dark night

Swing: I'll admit, moonlight, moonshine and angry scrubbies don't mix.
