Thanks for decent reply. Yes, the white blob of chalky substance is part of it. I suppose it's the from the bones??? So, ok it's most likely a snake, you say python. What about a King Brown? do they have similar scat? (p.s. hoping NOT!). I'm not a reptile enthusiast, just very concerned about the possibility of something deadly so close. Have encountered King Browns before, would rather not again.Is the white object at the top of the same paving brick as the coin part of the scat?
Just from the structure alone it is almost certainly python poop. The fact that it contains lots of fur clearly indicates a snake. The amount of faeces, in particular the length, is indicative of a python rather than a large mammal-eating elapid.
It is most definitely not from a bluetongue. Bluey droppings would have partly digested leaves and bits of snail shell or insect exoskeletons. Given they usually include a fair amount moisture, they tend to be an amorphous blob without clear structure.
Snakes can occasionally void their cloaca of built-up urates without defecating. So the absence of urates, while very uncommon, is not conclusive on its own.
