Snake

VID00049.AVI

This was curled up next to the nets on a louvered window. Haven't got a clue what it is, but to scale it must be about 1m long.

It's a lesser red crossed square white snake, common in these parts.

And usually highly venomous!

No, the file is OK.

Everything else is corrupt.

the file is not corrupt, the file is an avi (video file), save it to your local disk and open it using wmp.

as for the snake, its a big un, but no idea what it is. it certainly buggered off sharpish, so live and let live.

Here's about the best frame I can extract (there is a problem with the AVI)

Pretty blurry - first glance python, but not sure.

Thanks for the answers. Video is blurred because the mozzie net was in the way, thank god. I will take it as advice that is venomous.

Will tell the gardener to look out for it and deal with it however he prefers.

He will eat it with his family later for tea

Pythons are not venomous.

Besides I am not convinced that it is a Python myself as the markings appear to be too 'stripey".

That is entirely up to him, with a small bonus for catching it I am sure he will get it sorted out. I am overseas right now and can't and won't go hunting for it myself. It obviously came through the gate or fell out of a neighbour's tree by accident. To get out, it has to get out of the garden it would be pretty much by accident. I am more worried about the kids stumbling upon it somewhere. They are smart enough, but a surprised snake can react in a defensive manner.

I had the typical, oh, it isn't poisonous. If the gardener wants to eat it, that is his perogative. If he wants to take it a long way away, up to him. Either way, if he sees it, it has to go.

I preferred the Steve Irwin method of disposing of reptiles. Relocate them to somewhere they won't come in contact with humans. They have every right to live.

Which will be the main course, the snake or the family?

Pretty blurry - first glance python, but not sure.

Common Rat Snake would be my guess.

I'm pretty certain it's NOT a Python..
