I walked out my bedroom door this afternoon to find myself only a couple of feet away from a large and colourful snake. He was black with yellow spots. Quite attractive. He was sitting on my desk unmoving so I felt for a moment that it must be a plastic snake. I soon guessed however that it was a python. I had one here before a few years ago. He was a couple of metres long.
Migrants are often nervous of Australia's wildlife so to hear that you can suddenly have a large snake on your desk would freak them.
I called some snake catchers and they came quite promptly -- after about half an hour. They bagged him in minutes with no trouble. Their fee of $120 seemed reasonable for a Sunday callout. I don't now where they took him. To a Chinese restaurant maybe
