Hello there.
Just found a partial shedding in my yard. Had no luck finding the rest of it so getting a definitive ID has been tricky. What i did find was about a roughly 30cm long mid section.
I live on the outskirts of northwest Brisbane and have a piddly creek run past my back fence though I'm surrounded by suburbia. There's nearby bushland.
What I can tell is that it has 32 rows of dorsal scales. They got so small and hard to count towards the centre but a couple of times through have found 32.
The ventral scales are approx 10mm across.
There's a slight pattern to be seen in the pic where I'm spreading the dorsal side.
My guess is a spotted python. Anyone agree from the limited info?
In the past 4 years since we've been in this house, I've only encountered a couple of yellow-faced whip snakes and green tree snakes.
Regards,
Chris
