It’s a day for native wildlife. This morning, a huge huntsman in the shower. This evening, a huge snake trying to cross the road just in front of us. The Local Hero stood in the middle of the road, waving his hands to tell drivers to slow down. We think it’s a Coastal Carpet Python (Morelia Spilota). Average length 2.7m. Which sounds about right for this one. Eventually it decided not to cross the road after all, and doubled back
Into the undergrowth of the river bank.
