A small but feisty Slaty-grey snake (Stegonotus cucullatus) that has moved into the back garden. I like seeing them, but I've got a feeling the local frog population may take a bit of a hit!

Darwin Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata)

Now THIS is closer to what I was envisioning for that last Darwin Carpet Python photo.

It's certainly a lot easier when it's smaller and less (surprisingly) aggressive.

Children's python (Antaresia childreni) from the Katherine region, was a lot more orange tinged than the ones I usually see in Darwin.

I usually try not to post two of the same type of animal in a row, but I haven't seen anything else too interesting lately unfortunately.
