Title: What are these 2 animals?
Post by: JAV6 on October 04, 2011, 07:13:03 PM

On our last trip away I came across a lot of wildlife but 2 have got me a little bit stumped as I have tried to find them on the net but havent found excact matched. This snake we saw on the road between innaminka and Jackson mine. It looks like a carpet snake but yet looks totally different to the ones we have here at home and that bird well No Idea what he or she is. They were very calm walking along the banks of the Cooper. Fishing and shrimping all day long. Any way if anyone can tell what they are that would be great. Thanks

thought she was a central spotted python, they have a nice temperament once you get to know them;0
