It seems I became 'lunch' today...

Ive been told that a dab of metho around the jaws does the trick every time; but have not had to put it to the test! Very impressive photos though..its always looks better when it happens to someone else!

Cutting off it's head sounds a little harsh, should have cut off the arm LOL

 

[whiteyluvsrum]

it was'nt extreme at all, i would of done the same thing. this was a full grown adult olive latched onto a baby's arm, they tried water and everything! i know i would'nt lose any sleep if i did it.

it would be the same if it was a dog! if it attacked your baby, out comes the shotgun!

Howd does a full grown oliveget near a "baby"?

 

[pythoness]

Ahhh you didn't say it was a baby, (in your original post) in that case, don't let your fully grown olive cuddle your baby,

 

[AustHerps]

All of a sudden the young child's now a baby... olive near a baby? sounds kinda stupid to me, no excuses for it

 

[Mayo]

This story has changed from young kid to baby. Why would you bring a baby that close to an adult olive. If it can fit in it's mouth it will see it as food.

 

[whiteyluvsrum]

sorry, have to pay attention to my wording.
Anyway, i was just sharing a story i was told. so everyone just ease up and step down off there moral high horse.
i can give you his number if you want mattqld83 and you can tell him hes shameful yourself. im sure he would like it.

aaaanyway, on a lighter note,after we pulled austy and the snake apart i got a call out to catch a yellow "python like snake" from a very nice house in black rock, ,only half an hour drive away,, and austy didnt seem to be in TO much pain so him and misky came to watch .ah .we got to the house and the lady was in her kitchen pointing out the window at this beautiful specimen sitting on her fence near the washing line.i figured out what it was when i saw it,but still i sneaked up behind it and grabbed its head,all the lady could see was the tail flipping around and me struggling to put into the bag,it was a good show.
anyone recognise what type of snake it is?

 

[kwaka_80]

wow lookout snakeman thats a rare plastic viper, comes from places like japan and china in highly populated industrial estates

 

[AustHerps]

Kwaka, you were on the mark... From the markings, I'd guess it's Chinese...
