I am no fan of snakes... so you can imagine the surprise we got while we were checking the garden this morning and found this. We believe is it just a tree snake... so it's harmless, never the less it had better stay outside and not get any ideas about coming in!!!

What a cool picture!! It even earned a "Look at this picture!" to my husband @freedompoint! Haha

Oh, thanks... lol. I was just trying to get a good clear pic to have it identified. Snakes freak me out... I don't mind it being here (sort of) now that I know it is harmless... but I'm a little on edge about the idea that it may try to come inside.

Haha I doubt it would want to...I hear you though. We have a lot of copperheads where we live ☹

They come inside all the time... it's the most common snake to be removed from homes in Brisbane. There was one not too long ago, not that far from here that had one removed from their bed sheets!! I think I would die if I could that!!! Copperheads don't sound friendly!! : /

Oh yikes! Well atleast if you do find one inside, you aren't in danger...although that's probably not too comforting lol

Yeah, copperheads are venomous...our dog was bitten last fall, but he's ok now...it was a long couple days of nursing the wound though!

Yes, you are right, although I'm sure I will still freeze dead in my tracks if it was to happen... I would still freak out. This has been going through my mind... I have been thinking about how I would handle the situation, lol. We heard a heap of birds going crazy in the bush land next door to us, so we were thinking it might have been the snake.

MEANWHILE... while I was just typing this to you my husband called me outside... and this was there!!!! :O

2 snakes in 2 days is so not cool!!

I'm glad your dog is okay!!!

Oh goodness!! What kind is that??

It's a small python!! Yuck!
It was a good 1 - 1.5 meters long though!

I am very fobi of snake, so it is a scary Pict for me. But I am salute that you did it with your cam perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

Yes me too... and to want to look at it to take a photo was hard, lol... Thank you!
