Hi there,
I came across this poo in the back yard. I was wondering if any python owners could give me an approx ID based on my photo posted a bit lower down, please?
Bit of background. I initially thought it was a dog poo (or urban fox which is quite common back in the UK where I was from originally) but when I moved it away I noticed that it had the 'white tip' common to the gecko/lizards around our place but an order of magnitude larger.
I would estimate that it is around 3" long in total and 0.75" diameter (see my index finger in photo for scale). We live in Brisbane and about 1km from the CBD. My gut reaction is it belongs to the blue-tongued skink I have seen around our property but a woman at the museum told me that around 30% of homes in Brisbane have a resident python (which seems a bit high to me)!
Any thoughts much appreciated, thanks.
