Broke down at the St. Louis NARBC show and ended up this little girl! Her name is Echidna, and she is a Coastal Carpet Python.

She would like the world to know that she is spicy and spring-loaded!

We had an unexpected guest today.

Two weeks out from winter is not exactly when you’d expect to see wild diamond pythons but this guy showed up in our backyard today anyway and narrowly missed being a snack for my mum’s dogs. Our neighbours are clearing some overgrown trees and plants from their boundary fence, and we think he must have been hibernating in one of the trees that got cut down. My partner and I spotted him and pulled mum’s dogs away, while mum (aka the hand he has a death-grip on in these photos) caught him and relocated him down by the river, well away from the area being cleared.

I’m definitely adding “only one in the family with snake handling and catching experience despite owning dogs with no self-preservation instincts” as another reason why I need an off-road power wheelchair when I talk to the NDIS - the only reason I didn’t go get him myself was because I couldn’t get through the grass due to the rain making the ground too soft for my wheelchair. Mum’s got a rather impressive bruise from this and I don’t want to risk her or my partner getting hurt when I’m more equipped to be the one doing the relocation.

Oooh, girl! You’ll never believe what Sally said to Steph today!

4/10 for respecting privacy, 20/10 for spilling hot tea.

I'm Australian and I love snakes so I made a snake character. Her name is Poppy and she's a (South West) Carpet Python (because I'm from South-West Australia). Carpet Pythons are also well known to be very docile and sweet animals, which I think is pretty cute.

Poppies symbolize the blood spilled and lives lost during both World Wars, as well as hope for a peaceful future. Lest We Forget.

She also has brown eyes with a little bit of green because I have brown eyes with a little bit of green :)

Uhhhhh snakes are really cool :)

1 week update for Echidna:

She's settling into her quarantine enclosure nicely. She's had her first meal already and I'm giving it 1 more week before I begin the process of working with her.

I got a visit from a local legend today!

This is Rustle, the Carpet Python. They're named so for the sound of rustling leaves they make as they move. Other that, people in the street usually know he's around by their shed skin. Actually seeing them is rare to my understanding, so I feel blessed. Interestingly, my mum was alerted to him by a local couple that were making alarm cries. When my parents were harrasing Rustle with photograph, the magpies were surprisingly tolerant of our presence while we were taking photographs. Maybe we made them feel safe?

Rustle resting in a tree, or perhaps hoping g to catch a bird feeding on Wattle necter.

Don't go walking at night without your torch on in Queensland...

I only saw him as I stepped over him! He's just trying to keep warm.
