It says in the article that they're pleased to see snakes this size thriving. Me too! It would be a shame to see snake numbers decline because of humans.

What... you've never seen an 8 metre scrubbie? Are you out of your mind? I find them in my shoe boxes at night - all the time... and in my coffee mugs as well.

Are you sure that's what you were on about...

And RBB = yes, Tan knows when she's due...

I'll give you $1000 cash if you can produce a Carpet Python that is 4.0m total length.
