A snake ate my rabbit. What species is it?

[advancebooking]

 

I woke up yesterday morning and a rabbit was missing in the back garden area. We checked inside an old discarded wardrobe and saw a snake in there. 

 

The snake catcher was very relaxed about it whilst I was standing inside the trampoline with safety mesh protecting me. 

 

Looks like I can't put my remaining rabbit in the rear garden anymore. 

 

What type of snake is it? One file is a video. Hope that you can view it. Can a moderator remove the link at the top of the page please. The link at the bottom works.

It's a reticulated python.

Beautiful snake, shame about the rabbit 😞 

 

You may want to clear out any potential hiding places, next time it might not be a python 😞

Any thoughts on the favorite spots of these slithery fek@@rs ? (my appologies to all snake lovers)

 

Under wood piles or bushes obviously

shoes or a washing machine outside ..

behind outdoor cushions

air vents

water evacuation gutters

the toilet apparently ?

...what else...?

 

And have heard of specific products that can be sprayed around the house to keep them at bay ? any ideas ?

Do you have any newborns in your home.  These fellas have been know to eat them as well.

Let out freely in your 🐇  garden in Thailand.

 

Do you not like your rabbit?

 

Some people need to get their brains in gear.
