This really fits into the 'etc' section. A bit off the mark for this site, but I thought it might make a change from flies. The location is my feeding station just outside the eaves on my front veranda. Feeds possums at night and birds in the day. A Carpet Python checking out the spot where a possum had sat grooming itself earlier in the night. I did a count last night, and we still have our four. He wanted to go back into the possum box on top of the aircontioner, but I chased him up onto the roof with a wooden spoon.

Nice specimen! I guess close to 2 meters by the look of it?
