Been told by a snake handler that after being handled like this they pretty much regurgitate anything they’ve eaten recently and won’t eat for a week or so. Had a python about the size of the one in the video (maybe a bit longer but probably twice as round) removed a few years ago and he sent pics of the 5 rats the snake regurgitated about an hour after he removed it.
I sympathise.
Mice/Rats for me. Scurrying about all night, "Schtch schtch schtch schtch."
I'm sure this monster would happily dispatch mice too, but ... I couldn't live knowing it was slithering around up there. Harmless to humans, I'm sure (assuming it's a carpet python?). But yeah nah ... not in my roof please.
I get what you mean but a non-venomous python has more benefits for you in your roof.
It will absolutely keep rodents in check (their urine & feces are toxic & destructive to roofs/walls).
It will deter other snakes (venomous ones).
They make next to no noise, are only active for certain months of the year. Their feces are not liquid like a rodent & have very little odour.
They will also deter possums & will keep out of your way.
I understand people have fears & aversions towards snakes - I find learning about them & admiring their colours & patterns helps remind us how unique they are.
Dude! Get onto that fast. Rats will do a crazy amount of damage to your property.
You can get the poison throw bags. They are essentially a cloth hacky sack of poison. Pop the hatch into your roof space, chuck a few around and let the problem take care of itself.
Yeah I have a process which works - I put baits under the house where I know they access the wall-space to get to the roof. After a few days the noises stop. I just have to take the time to pull a few roof tiles off above where I know they're travelling, and stuff a bunch of chicken wire down then space-expanding foam seal it all up.
I'll do it just before we sell the place.
Yeah? It could be a decent sized passage, that's all. It's literally the wall right next to where I'm sitting now, and I think it follows the earth strap/wire down between the t-junction of external stud wall & internal stud wall (just guessing). So I think it's a 100 x 100 square (old messmate timber frame weatherboard).
My theory was bunched up wire (tight enough that no marsupial could fit through) stuffed down about 200mm, then the space-expanding foam inside let loose int the centre of that and above.
Oh my god, we have one jump from a tree onto our roof nightly and he must be a big boy because it sounds like the whole house is about to fall down. Never fails to scare the shit out of me.
Python bites really aren't bad. I've been bitten heaps by pythons far bigger than this guy, I worked with rehabbing them for a few years. You just recognise whether it is a defensive/confused bite (snap and release) or a distressed/panic/hunger bite (snap and wrap) and act accordingly.
I've never met one who hasn't eventually just chilled all the way out. You get some cool looking bite scars though, they have plenty of fangs!
Never rip their mouth off you, let them release on their own.
They are usually (unless starving to death, freezing to death, distressed, wounded) the most docile fat lil long pups. I adore them, they are truly magical.
Beautiful creatures. Deserve all the love in the world.
RIP my rescue girl Princess, 5m long 17yo Bredli. Miss her every single day.
They can tell by the pattern on the snake if it’s venomous or not. Even if it is, only certain venomous snake bites are really life threatening. Still going to hurt like a bitch if you do get bit though
Python constrict their prey, so they are big chunky muscular boys and girls, like this one. Little heads but with solid bodies. Venomous snakes are skinny things by comparison. I think pythons are pretty easy to recognise, but obviously unless you are an expert you shouldn't be handling any snake.
There was Matt Wright with the crocs in NT... But we all know how that turned out. Agree though, I follow some of the snake catchers on FB, some pretty cool videos. Would make for great tv.
I thought the snake was pregnant and then she just kept on pulling and realised it was a python and then realised it was probably food pregnant from dead possum.
Nah - easy as
Cut the hole square - taper the edges about 45 degrees - cut a piece of gyprock to size and taper its edges - cut the hole for the downlight - piece of gyprock goes up through the hole on the diagonal - bit of spakfilla around the edges as a binding agent - some jointing tape to cover the gaps - paint to suit
Would take me about 2 hours - a pro could do it in 30 minutes
> Would take me about 2 hours - a pro could do it in 30 minutes
This is every job around the house for me lol. Except maybe 4 hours and 3 trips to the hardware store.
Oh, I was definitely estimating time on the perfect job - where I knew everything beforehand and had tools and materials on hand
Not the usual job - where you go to grab the paintbrush and the kids have used it and not cleaned it - or you pick up the drill and the battery is flat, and you're not sure where the spare or the charger are - or the air conditioning duct is right *there* where you want to install the antenna cable
Snake experts (I'm sure many of us are here on reddit), but why was the catcher so calm and seemingly nonchalant about any threat of being bitten, despite physically wrangling the snake around?
Yeah this is *reaallyy* gonna freak the “Australia’s full of weird deadly shit” internet foreign brigade right out… some chick nonchalantly dragging a huge snake and dead possum out of a ceiling…
Fuck i thought it was a bit of insulation not a fucking possum! lol
Same I had to go back and check. Now I'm sad.
It's two natives. Nothing to be sad about.
At least it’s the common ‘pest’ variety of possum and not the endangered variety. The snake chose correctly.😉
Danger Noodle has become Ranger Noodle...
Which species are endangered in QLD?
How did they get up there?
It’s nature
So is your parents dying. Ppl are allowed to have empathy
When you have a python in your ceiling, you don't have rodents. But your small pets might disappear!
Snake: What is the charge?! Eating a meal? A succulent possum meal???
They may as well have thrown the dead possum in the bag with him.
[удалено]
I don't mind the snake, but the stinky cheese aroma of dead possum in the house is not okay.

Five rats? Maybe you should have kept the snake...
get your hand off my limp possum!!
This is democracy manifest.
Herpocrasssssy
Manifesssssssst
Im pretty sure she touched his penis
You are you ready to recieve my limp penisssss?
I sssee you know your judo well.
Oh that’s a nice headlock, ssssssssssir
Yeah that's actually how you get a snake to move. Play with its penis.
Nah, She’s a qualified teacher. It’s ok apparently.
This is the man that tried to use me as a penis!
GET YOUR HAND OFF MY SNAKE PENIS
That’s a possum the tail looks too nice and fluff
As she is putting the snake in the bag: “Ta-ta!”
and farewell
I see you know your judo well.
Stole his lunch then threw him in a bag.
He asked for it to go
"The good news is, you no longer have a possum problem in the roof..."
Or ... now the snake is gone ... the possum problem in the roof returns.
She can dump it in my roof. Better than hearing those footprints. He's over my head right now, running back and forth.

Yeah, they may burrow somewhere else but thats what I've seen work. Good luck!
Wouldn't worry me unless it was venomous. Has anyone here identified it? Some kind of python.
If it was venomous, the snake catcher wouldn’t be as blasé as they are. Just a carpet python.
Definately a python
Oh my god, we have one jump from a tree onto our roof nightly and he must be a big boy because it sounds like the whole house is about to fall down. Never fails to scare the shit out of me.
Same here. It got even noisier and I observed one nihht that the possum now had a baby on its back 🥲
At first I thought it was a video complaining about an electrician installing a light or something. Wow.
Waiting for the post in AusRenovation for how to fix the hole ...
Plug it with a snake?
Insulate it with the possum carcass
Is this asbestos???
Doubtful, house doesn’t look hella old so I’d say it’s plain old plasterboard.
It’s just a joke now anything that looks remotely like asbestos gets the question 😂
Fill it with spiders.
She just stuck her hand in there with 0 visibility lmao
Could probably tell it was a python and may already know it's mouth was busy trying to deep throat the possum.
She did that and I double checked the sub. Saw r/australia and I was like "PLEASE tell me she's not pulling a big ass spider out of there" lmao
Python bites really aren't bad. I've been bitten heaps by pythons far bigger than this guy, I worked with rehabbing them for a few years.

I could never!
HOW IS THAT SAFE haha like what if it was venemous 😭
They can tell by the pattern on the snake if it’s venomous or not. Even if it is, only certain venomous snake bites are really life threatening. Still going to hurt like a bitch if you do get bit though
If you know that it's a big snake, you can be pretty confident that it's not venomous. That said, non venomous snakes still bite lol
I’ve seen some massive Eastern Browns, 2m long not uncommon.
“I want the most QLD video you have” .. “No that’s too QLD”
Have a look at the snake the boys have put in here, non compliant. And a possum carcass, non compliant.
I read this in the accent and everything
Yeah me too!
Unbelievable.
What a ssssschemozzle
Absolute ssssshamozzle
Too good lmfao
Snake: *The fuck, I was eating that...*
Hello Possum
Lilys not gladiolus in this case.
😵
Real dangerous work there. When those things snap and they get you it fucking stings. God damned down lights.
I thought that was just installation fluff - then a damn possum came out.
Same lol I was like hmm okay insulation, ohhh wtf it has legs? 🤣🤣
Haha the end. 'Just taking the dog for a walk dear, back in a tic,' pose.
I was about to mark her down for damaging the ceiling but, that possum wasn't coming out without a bigger hole.
Ice in her veins, didn’t even react when the snake head dropped out
Using a snake to catch the possums in your roof; never thought about that!
It comes after sending in the spider… to catch the fly.
Fly was there because the last snake didn't come out.
Was going to say that pro has balls of steel. Errrrr, ... no. ed: She barely flinched when the head came out at her.
Watching the snake, I didn't even notice it was a lady. She's got balls though.
> She's got balls though. Ovaries, yes.
she knew it was a python.
Can still give you a big ol' infection on their bites.
Any feral can bite.
How did she know?!
Python constrict their prey, so they are big chunky muscular boys and girls, like this one. Little heads but with solid bodies. Venomous snakes are skinny things by comparison. I think pythons are pretty easy to recognise, but obviously unless you are an expert you shouldn't be handling any snake.
markings? size? from sticking a camera up there beforehand? -shrug-
Um, can I have my possom back?
Even if you know it’s a carpet python sticking your hand in there is freaky hahah.
You STOLE his LUNCH!
Is that a python in your ceiling or are you just happy to see me?
Fuck me, that's a lot of snake.
Who uses a snake to get a possum out of the roof? Seems like it just makes it harder.
Snek.
Not spooder?
danger noodle
Wait so how the fuck did those two get in there?
I thought by the headline that it was a snarky dig at electricians. Did not go on the direction I thought it was going
What an absolute unit of a snake!
There are easier ways to snake a wire over for an extra light.
I thought it was insulation, not lunch!
Why can't we have cool guys doing cool shit like this on TV instead of that border patrol garbage?
There was Matt Wright with the crocs in NT... But we all know how that turned out. Agree though, I follow some of the snake catchers on FB, some pretty cool videos. Would make for great tv.
I thought the snake was pregnant and then she just kept on pulling and realised it was a python and then realised it was probably food pregnant from dead possum.
Gee she's good! Impressive!
Expensive snake. Would’ve been better off leaving it alone lol
I thought she was pulling out insulation at first
"Nuke the entire site from orbit--it's the only way to be sure"
Wait, no gloves or other PPEs? And the snake didn't retaliate?
That's what I thought the snake didn't even try and snap at her or anything
Poor possum?
Nah, fuck em.
It’s just mother nature at work.
Poor snake
That hole in the ceiling will probably be a pain to fix.
Nah - easy as Cut the hole square - taper the edges about 45 degrees - cut a piece of gyprock to size and taper its edges - cut the hole for the downlight - piece of gyprock goes up through the hole on the diagonal - bit of spakfilla around the edges as a binding agent - some jointing tape to cover the gaps - paint to suit Would take me about 2 hours - a pro could do it in 30 minutes
I understood about a quarter of this. I really am a worthless man.
same... you lost me at "taper"
Really? It's a South American pig with a little trunk. Actually related to hawsers.
No, that's a Tapir. Taper is a flattened bleached mat of vegetable fibers, often used for writing and drawing.
No, that's paper. Taper is a tool used to lightly compress ground coffee beans prior to forcing pressurised hot water through them to make coffee.
> Would take me about 2 hours - a pro could do it in 30 minutes This is every job around the house for me lol. Except maybe 4 hours and 3 trips to the hardware store.

Patch that up ready for paint in half an hour. An hour with pack up and tidy. Could be anywhere from $100>$300. You may get a handyman cheaper.
Isn't it a light fitting?
Snake experts (I'm sure many of us are here on reddit), but why was the catcher so calm and seemingly nonchalant about any threat of being bitten, despite physically wrangling the snake around?
It’s a python, so while a bite would be painful, it isn’t venomous.
Thats a weirdly long cat tail
Just waiting for a mate!
At first look, I thought she pulled out some mutated snake with furry tail and legs.
Wow! Full credit to that snake catcher
OzzyMan would have fun with this
I was hoping to move to Brisbane sometime but after watching this I'm reconsidering
I thought she was taking out insulation.... nope, just a f*cking possum! 😆
Yeah this is *reaallyy* gonna freak the “Australia’s full of weird deadly shit” internet foreign brigade right out… some chick nonchalantly dragging a huge snake and dead possum out of a ceiling…
I can't with you queensland
Shame about the possum.
Animal control in Australia must be the hardest difficulty setting.
WHY DIDNT SHE WEAR GLOVES IN CASE OF A BITE, even non venemous, or if they got it mistaken and it was venemous
I would have kept the snake. One less possum rampaging in the roof
I thought that was the insulation bats he was pulling out to make room for the snake.
Didn't see that possum coming. What a big boi.
I did not expect a possum to drop out as well. Australia hey? Don't we just love it?
I thought that was a sparky going the extra mile lol
Now that’s pulling cables
Plz patch :-)
How casual was she ? 🤔
That is a well fed Coastal.
NOPE NOPE NOPE
HOLY SHITBALLS WHAT DID I JUST WATCH! i thought i was fine with most animals but thats premiership level!
# WOMAN SAVES DAY!
She is so calm and focussed. As glad as i am about that, i really don't want to hear that she does one or two of these a week.
u/gifreversingbot
Now that’s a professional. A pretty friggen hot professional too..!!
Just a normal morning in Australia.
This is why I stay in Ireland
Faark
Damn that's game
I'd be on the other side of the glass too
[удалено]
Was that a python or some thing more venomous?
Python Can bite, but not venomous
🫣 nope
No. Just No
Two fingers and then "what the fuck?!?!".
Destroyed the ceiling!!
You’d think there would be a better way to get inside the roof
Hope you at least let him eat his dinner
Handled that monster with ease.
This is big….
QLD man. I know the government is trowing growth at QLD but id never live in the place.Way to sticky and this shit.
That's one way to install a light fitting 💡
what these videos never show is the snake peeing all over the person catching them -_-
Who pays for all the damage?
I think I'd rather pay for the damage than eventually find out there's a rotting possum in my ceiling tbh.
I just can't even watch.
Get the fuck out of town…!!! what a woman!!!
and that kids, is why they get paid $10,000 per hour
