Thanks Mary. No exaggeration but our local form are the most attractive of the species. Most other forms have far less distinctive patterns.
Tee, the top 2 photos are the smaller one, all the others are the larger one. At 1.5 metres it's pretty well full grown but they can get up to 2 metres. They're a very slender snake, so even the longer ones look like a thin rope.
Sharon,
"All God's creatures ...." These are photos of my niece overcoming her fear of some of God's creatures, a Blue-tongue Lizard and a Childrens Python . She did really well and I'm sure I could get you to overcome your fears as well.
