Your mate needs to water his lawn more often. Where is his backyard? North Queensland maybe?

Perhaps an Atherton...

Love that snake! - I love the stripe that's on its back and the bands that extend from it also love the head patterns. Is that what you'd call a reduced pattern or reversed pattern? It seem to have more cream with green patterns on it instead of the other way around..

Hey Iceman,
That is an amazing little python, it definitely has jungle charactaristics, but if he was close to your locale then how? lol
The pic doesnt do the animal justice, Id imagine he looks a lot better in the flesh.
Thanks for sharing the pics, we are all jealous of the herp heaven you guys live in - I will be up there in a few weeks time - Cant wait!
Cheers

Its probably from Queensland. Thats as close as Im going to speculate.
Then again. if its in your backyard and its not an escaped pet, you can answer your own question I guess???????
