On the Prowl

 

This Amethystine Python, Simalia kinghorni, was stretched out in our driveway the other morning amidst several Red-legged Pademelons- a wallaby, Thylogale stigmatica, and a number of Musky Rat-kangaroos, Hypsiphrymndon moschatus.

From the looks of it, this fellow needs a feed. Its skinny body suggests that the snake has not been very successful in prey-catching. With cold weather approaching, the snake must have a feed if it is to survive. The snake was about 3 m in length so it has had success in the past!
