I've had a couple of these little baby pythons around the yard lately. Very small, the first pic show my car key in the pic to illustrate it's size. It's a carpet python which i'd say is Amythystine Python (Scrub Python), not sure but i want to know the exact species. It was quite placid, not that i handled it. Does anyone recognize it?

Dunno know what sort of snake that is, but I bet you don't have too many mice around :D
-
not an expert but looks like a young scrub python alright... in need of a feed by the look of him
very pretty
-
Are you lot gonna tell me that that cute, pretty thing can grow into one of these:
(shocked smiley)
-
It's a coastal carpet python... Harmless!!!
-
My son looked at it and reckons its a Bredli Python.
:cheers:
-
Looks like a baby Coastal Carpet or Morelia Spilota Mcdowelli, these come in quite a range of different colours.
-
Bredli are red and white (with black outlines unless Hypomenalistic) and have a limited locality of Central Aus in the NT (Alice Springs area). They'd be out of their range in QLD and be extremely lucky to have bred true with other rogues of the same species if a lost pet etc...The snake has typical coastal colouring (although they are very variable) and markings (saddles). I've kept and bred snakes since the early 80's and published an article on this exact species. I would bet both my nuts, 2 arms and a leg or 2 on it infact lol.
-
Another vote for Coastal Carpet Python ... we had one called Monty ... but he's "gone bush" now. See if I can find you a pic. Oh hey, found the snake babies the BF rescued from a work site too. So cute! ;D

Might be harmless, but still would have scared the bejesus out of me.

Lovely snake

Used to have a resident carpet snake in the shed each summer, loved to sleep wrapped around the drill press, was a hassle moving him when I needed to drill something but was a great snake, very placid but left snake crap every where, now there's no snake I have to bait the rodents, the snake was much more fun even with the snake crap to clean up.

I'd like to think your key's bigger than it looks :cheers:
-
Love snake, some people think it tastes like chicken, but i think it tastes like Kola just my opinion
-
Let it grow a bit, well maybe a lot, and I will not worry about the name, just call it tucker.

They don't like it when you hold their head :-(

With all the wet weather around of late, we have a little visitor hanging around the back door and in the carport.
Does anyone know what type of snake it is?
You may have top download the pic and zoom in.

It's got a yellowish belly ... and it's black :o I wouldn't be giving it a kiss or a massage that's for sure.
Even the "harmless" ones still bite ...

G'day Kit_e,
We have Red Bellie Blacks around the house at times, as well as a Python that spend time on the roof under the Solar panels and on the grass near the bank of shrubs by the shed. We also have three families of Blue Tongues that live around the house in varied places, sometimes in the horse feed shed, I know Fysh has come across one of them by the squeal that comes from the shed ;D
A fortnight ago, I was checking the fuel filter on the cruiser and the little buggar coiled around my ankle and slithered across my bare feet.
It wasn't aggressive towards me at all, Just after the above picture was taken I got a broom stick and was able to pick it with it and walked way over into to the paddock were there is a big pile of old branches, haven't seen it since.
:cheers:
-
Prolly a bit stunned by the smell of of ya feet i'm thinking.
Poor little bugger was last seen trying to get ya toejam off his little face.

My bet is an Olive tree python.

Dont know much about tropical snakes, but no such thing as a true "Yellow Bellied" Black Snake. Red Bellied, yes.
Green Tree snakes apparently have many colour variations. Do a google image search on them.

I had an interesting experience while fishing last weekend with snake identification.
Son said He saw a brown snake drop off the riverbank near where we were in our boat. As it started to then swim toward us, I saw dark stripes on it's 1.5m+ side and thought sh1t - tiger snake!!!
As I was wrestling it away from coming on board the back of our boat using the long handled landing net, I clearly saw the diamond pattern on it's back and thought Ok, maybe diamond python?
Everyone nearby roared with laughter watching me wrestle a 1.5m snake of whatever kind away from the back of my boat.
Took a few minutes but I won eventually and it swam off to the other bank, while I then changed my boxers.
Moral to story? Not sure, just lucky that son saw it fall in the first place as it could have easily snuck up and in the boat before we realised-----------
-
all the more reason to get a big boat - thanks for that story i must tell the other half
-
**** I hate snakes.
-
Kayaking at Walker Flat on the Murray on one of the nice warm back waters, a brown snake swam over the front of the kayak as I was slowly paddling along.
Had to wash the kayak out later, and let just say the water was a little bit browner than usual afterwards.

**** I hate snakes.
I heard it tastes like chicken

When i helped out at our aged care facility i spotted the curtains move in the dining room when i investigated i found a Brown snake behind them it was in the dining room all the residents were seated for breaky.Well i couldnt say to much for they would have panicked i kept an eye on it till the other nurse came back and gestured to her whispering theres a brown snake behind the curtain,well she shouted snake all the residents jumped up i quickly took control and had them all move to the otherside of the room.I then found one of those long handled dust pans and the broom which after a few attempts managed to secure it on the dustpan scurried outside and off it went.The residents were that hyped up and excited they didnt stop talking about it for two days.I then had to front the facility manager because as we all found out there was a snake policy, yeah ok i should have just left it to crawl all over the 20 odd residents.

My bet is an Olive tree python.
Cheers mate,
I had an idea it was a python, just wasn't sure which type.
So I went and Google it (http://www.snakeranch.com.au/our-snakes/olive-python/)
This would explain it's temperament.
