Came across this guy this morning. Unusual for the Sunny Coast he was huge, you can see heaps of sub-adult and adult reptiles but old adults are few and far between. Note the size of the head! And very placid, didn't even tongue flicker, all he wanted to do was warm in the morning sun. She was as quite as captive animal and, if she had been captive, I would have said over-fed!
While I was there an old guy came up and started a conversation, fortunately he liked reptiles and has a large carpet on rat duty in his barn. I left the animal at the side of the road, came back in 5 minutes time and found the guy had put some rubbish near the snake so that drivers (read rednecks) would avoid the spot and the animal would not join the huge numbers of roadkill that I'm currently seeing.
OH, and dispite the fact it was a high toad area the place had RBBS, I saw three, but they were all camera shy and bolted. I tried to get between one animal and cover but she was having none of that, and went high speed between my legs.
