Dang.
Cool pics Vince! I didn't know Australia had pythons. Are they native or have they been introduced?

Awesome thanks for the pics Vince!
Reminds me of my childhood in Indonesia.

Totally native Azar, in fact Australia has a number of native pythons, all will bite is they feel threatened, but they are usually very placid and if handled carefully do not present any problems as they are non venomous.

We also have a shed load of the most venomous snakes in the world.

Ah Bushy, I'd still visit there. I'd just make sure that Vince is around to ID the snakes!

I don't remember which snake it is but they have one that will chase a person down for getting too close.
Even with the deadly snakes and spiders I would still like to visit Aulstralia one day.

Better the brats than the folks.
May have invented a new sport - "Snaking" - like fishing but for snakes instead of fish.

I've been wondering why people aren't "varmint hunting" the invasive snakes in Florida, etc. Wonder what the best cartridge and shot placement is for a Burmese python, Nile monitor, etc?

It would likely take a brain shot to be quickly lethal on eith animal. I don't know how big or the exact location of the brain is on either animal but I would think a 12 ga. 00 buck load to the head would pretty much take care of it. Most reptiles can survive most body shots so the only real vital shot has to be the head.
