Hi Aussie Pythons and Snakes Members,
I am a new member who has just joined WIRES and am interested in learning a bit more about snakes. However with this posting I would like to ask whether anyone could tell me what snake poo looks like, particularly a big snake like a python or maybe a tiger snake. We have found some poo on our bush property which we do not recognise and we are pretty well familiar with most native animals as well as pigs, goats etc, and it's none of those. It is quite large, and looks like a string of sausages, except black. It is coated in a black membrane, was not very smelly, and was approx 30cm long, divided into "sausages" of about 4-8cm long each. It was in the paddock just near some old farm sheds, and I have been told there are tiger snakes in this area (40km north of Braidwood, NSW) . Also, we looked in the "tracks and scats" book and the only poo that looks similar is the tiger snake poo. Is snake poo this big? I have tried to find a photo but couldn't find any on the net.....any help appreciated! If we have a tiger snake nearby we need to know! If it's a python then that's cool, we won't mind so much! have found your website very interesting, thanks! Lauren.
