We had one at our house recently. But given the size of some of the ones of here I'm almost to embarrassed to post a pic of it.

^Indeed. It's how you use it.

And in this case it was used by the gardener eating it.

My son at the age of two was sitting on my sister in laws doorstep.

She look at him and focused past him to see a rather large rock python crawling directly towards him

We have a video of the snake, I shall try to capture a pic of it, cos i know my bullshit story won't be believed.

Python devours family's chihuahua


Wednesday Feb 27 10:00 AEDT


By ninemsn staff
A distraught north Queensland family threw chairs at a 5m python in a fruitless attempt to stop it devouring their pet chihuahua.
The snake stalked the silky terrier-cross late Monday night, eventually settling down to consume the dog on the veranda of Daniel Peric's Kuranda home as his two horrified children watched, The Cairns Post reported.
When snake experts arrived to remove the non-venomous reptile, all that could be seen of the dog was its tail and back legs.
"We'd had the dog about five years, so it was part of the family," Mr Peric said to the newspaper.
The family lost its pet guinea pig and cat to hungry snakes in the last month.
"These pythons used to feed on wallabies but now they feed on cats and dogs in suburbia," Australian Venom Zoo owner Stuart Douglas told The Post.
"This python actively stalked their dog."
"They'd thrown chairs at it to try to stop it, but it had already eaten the animal," he said.
Mr Peric is now frightened snakes will hurt his children, aged five and seven.
"We have ducted air-conditioning. Call it paranoia, but my big fear is that a snake will get in there," he said.

Snake's wallaby meal

Thursday, February 28, 2008

Darren Cleland could not believe his eyes when he saw this monster python on the banks of the Barron River west of Cairns.
The former Cairns councillor was at his rural property at Bilwon last month when he heard a neighbour's dog barking and rushed down to the water's edge to find the snake devouring a full-size wallaby with a joey in its pouch.
He estimated the python was at least 5m long.
"We were more amazed than anything that a python could get its mouth around an animal of that size," he told The Cairns Post last night.
"We've seen a few snakes but never anything this big."
Mr Cleland said the experience was a good lesson for his children to be wary of all snakes.
"We figured if it could eat the wallaby, it could easily eat our five-year-old."

It's in the fish tank eating all the food you pour in there everyday. No wonder the fish aren't growing.

No pics but i had three snakes in my garden over the last few months one was orange, one red and black and one big silver bugger.
I don't mind snakes but the scorpions freaked me out a bit.
