A Snake In The Garden

I received a message from my good friend Mike in Australia.
I'd like to share it with you.

It's different over there!

Hi Tramp,
Thought you might like this photo of a Diamond back Python. I have one in my garden at the moment, only as thick as your wrist. But the way he is eating the Bandycoots (Kangaroo like rat) he will soon be up to the one in the photo. They are not supposed to bother humans, but then they are not usually as angry as that one. I can't get over it's teeth!

Regards Mike.

Photos of a snake caught on an electric fence on a sheep & cattle station near the NSW town of Nyngan.... Some tourists on holidays came across the snake caught in an electric fence, being continually shocked, and getting very angry! The group wondering what to do, decide to divert the current, cut the wire AND let the snake go! (As you should do). When the property owner found out he went ballistic, besides being upset about his fence, the snake had been eating lambs in the area, and he'd been trying to track it for ages. He did not appreciate the help! Australians are used to a big snake or two, but wait till you see this old fella!
