Modern Day Prospector. Is your mate who sent you these photos a surveyor by chance?

Once in a lifetime shots they are. What sort of snake is it? & i know its a big hungry one so far... well not so hungry for a week or so

Hi All.. New member here, just joined

I got those pics last yr, they are from FMG,s Cloudbreak minesite near Newman.
I was told that the goanna tried to get the snake, but as you see in the pics.. the snake won

Thats a black headed python and they get a hell of a lot bigger than that one. Got these pics last year as well.

amazing photos

We had a population explosion of these in the north this year, due to a good wet and they do get quite large. Non venomous but very aggressive at times. I had one strike at me whilst I rode past on a motorbike. Here is one crossing a road (and covering the entire width of the road) - April 2011. In a 1 klm stretch of this road we counted another 5 of similar size. Makes you wonder how many were actually throughout the bush.

On that trip, I stumbled onto another few large ones hiding under bushes whilst detecting and it made you very cautious. With this many pythons, there had to have been a large population of eastern browns as well.
