very nice! good find.... i would have released him back into your mango tree and put a hide box up there for him to live in! hehe keep tthe posums at bay
Yeah, the thought had crossed my mind because I really dislike possums because of the mess, smell, and fruit and flower damage they make. But, I thought the snake may crawl out onto the road again or into neighbours yards who may kill it... if not the neighbours then their dogs and cats would probably attack it. I also thought of putting him in my roof, but, my wife put her foot down and demanded that it's her or the snake!!
The carpet was happy to slither on its merry way up a big fig tree when we released him yesterday.....the bushland area is full of flying foxes so he should be very happy there.
My kids miss the snake. They want me to get them a baby pet snake to keep in a tank. I'm ok with it, they just have to work on their mum with the idea now! Will let you know how we go. How large do children pythons grow and how much time and expense is involved in keeping one? I am also thinking of getting a turtle for my pond. Will a turtle stay put or will it wander? Will my fish survive with a turtle?
