I know this is silly, but I was wondering... what would you do if your large python started to constrict you? I've heard a few instances of it here, but not how they solved the 'problem'... I know you can prevent it by not dangling a massive snake around your neck, but eh, some people still do...

Last night I went across the road to check out a snake in the ceiling. It was a huge scrubby wrapped around on of the ceiling lights. I thought it was too big to pull it down without taking the light and probably half of the ceiling with it. It was one of those ceilings made of panels, wires...

I heard and agree that it's good to have at least one python that is bittey or snappy in a collection. Especially if it's one of the larger species such as a coastal, olive or scrubby. Some would even say aggressive If you agree, why? Or disagree, why? Does it make you a better handler...

Google didn't cut it, so I'm asking the true experts here ;). How many species of native python does Australia have? We had a lecturer in last week who claimed 16, but I got more than that off the top of my head, and then less if I didn't count subspecies. I don't doubt him, but I was...
