THE ANSWER!
Yesterday I posted a picture asking which of you guys could see what plant pot the 1.8m Coastal Carpet Python was hiding behind. A lot of you guessed correctly so well done! Well the answer is Top Middle – if you zoom in you can make out some scales between the leaves – goes to show how well a large snake can hide! Max

Keeping in view the excellent ability of the snakes to camouflage, these animals can be really harmful for humans. However, fortunately this particular snake is not very much poisonous and doesn’t pose any big threats to humans. But don’t expect an animal like snake to be completely harmless! They too can give you a big painful bite if you try to threaten them. And yeah they love to eat your animals too. So if you have got a loved small pet like rabbit, parrot, or cat, try to keep it safe and out of the reach of this hungry python. This animal is found throughout much of mainland Australia, as well subspecies in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Yule Island. If you are living in those areas, stay alert!
