I saw at animaldiversity that bhp could prey on perentie
Little juvenile perenties sure... I guess that would happen but an adult perentie is every bit of 6ft long and tough as nails... I imagine it would belt the s*** out of a bhp in a physical confrontation. I've seen common lace monitors tear 6ft coastal carpet pythons to shreds.
 
Definitely not a healthy adult perentie

As FP said, for sure a juvenile as well as other snakes including taipans
 
I don't see why they couldn't they're a pretty powerful python. Naturally it would depend on the size of the Black Headed v Perentie.

Wouldn't happen.


An African rock python or even a big scrub python would stop an adult perentie but not a bhp... The bhp would become an nhp - no headed python.

Perentie is king of The desert.

Obviously ignorance is bliss to some people or should I refer to them as pretenders?
