hey buddy. Best thing to do is call a snake relocater.
 
It would be better to get a professional to catch it. Couple of reasons it's in a confined space (roof) if you didn't know how to catch it properly you could hurt the snake or yourself.

you in qld call tony harrison he lives on the coast and is a professional snake catcher
 
Hey tony won't go to Brisbane most likely, been around him a bit and Ye probe wouldn't be keen but best to Google Brisbane snake catchers.
But you could ring tony and he might have some numbers for you

If you ring him tell him little Scott put you onto him
Cheers

Problem with calling a catcher as they will come out and may not be able to locate the python.
Id just do a bit of spotlighting of an evening and see if u can spot it, a cold snake is easyer to pick up then a heated up one especially in a roof lol.
Years ago i made a trap to catch an escaped diamond python in the roof, was basically a mesh crab trap with a smaller cage inside it with a live rat inside for bait...worked for my purpose and caught the snake...but wouldnt recommend for a large python.
If your not confident on grabbing and handling a wild carpet then try and track down a local whos experienced and willing to go up in your roof at night and catch it for u.
 
Yeah call a professional and get hit with a professional price :lol:

If it's big and you really don't know what you're doing you might not have a choice. Surely someone here lives around your area who can help?
 
Unless you got a colony of rats In in your roof, he's producing that ****zer from an outside source, sus out the the entry/exit, block it when he's out' and bobs yer uncle....:)
 
Hey cockney red,

That's all good blocking it's entry but what happens if it decides to eat the mothers dog, poor ryanrumler will have a squeaky voice for weeks after his mother strings him up by the balls!!!!
 
Wally,cha cha cha,wally,cha cha cha,wally go.just make sure it doesn't turn into find wally.don't get hurt and don't hurt the snake,but your safety is always to be put first.and who wants to see their little 'ratdogs' get eaten....not your balls.hahahahahahahahahhaahaha.
