Snakesssssss...

We have had a carpet python hanging around the kitchen and backyard for 3 days now. Its docile, about 3m long and extremely pretty. I think its trying to make a meal of the rat that as been hanging around the laundry.

So, in celebration of sharing our home with a new reptilian interloper (which has been named "monty") I have decided to bring out the snakeys...

This is one of the first photos of Lazarus, an inland carpet python. Most people would think he was named after that biblical character which rose from the dead... He was actually named after the rugby player, whos picture he was curled up around when he was taken home from the breeder.

Hes almost 2 meters long now. He loves curling around beers and getting tangled in my dreadlocks.
