It's World Snake Day (who knew?) so we thought we'd share this whopper. This very large scrub python was spotted crossing the road at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Lowland Rainforest. Scrub pythons, also known as amethystine pythons, are the longest snake species in Australia. They can grow up to 8.5m long. They like to eat wallabies but are also know to take domestic pets which is one reason there are not many feral cats in the Daintree Rainforest!
