Hi there,
So we leave on a bit of acreage up in the hills, have a dam where we regularly see red-belly-blacks slither around (just saw 2 today hanging out together). We also have an absolutely gorgeous massive carpet snake who comes to visit (sorry no pix). And we also have a frangipane tree which is a favorite hot spot for snakes to come rub and shed their skins.
Now in the last week, we've had this little fella come up twice - but we just have no idea what he/she may be. From the scales around the eyes, the shape of its head, and its scales, and its colors, he/she just seems like a bitser of all kinds..
My hubby reckons it is a python but I would like to be sure, so I tried to take many pix to ask you all for help to ID him/her.
