The 54-year-old said: 'It was incredibly long. It was easily as thick as my leg, and so, so heavy.
'We were so surprised to stumble across it and we poked it with a stick to see if it was alive.'It's rather amazing he's lived to the age of 54, isn't it?
Best to retreat 10 meters and shoot it with a high powered rifle to be sure its dead, and then hang it around you neck for a photo and then hang it on the wall at home with all the rest the road kill stuffed animals
ReplyDeleteThats what you hunting types do aint it julia?
He's a "special care school instructor". Maybe there's something contagious at work. Call H&S and quarantine the area! Seriously, Julia, most reptiles are inactive at current temperatures so he's not as daft as he sounds.
ReplyDeleteCan't resist re-alerting Julia's readers to this clip of Python Fishing.
ReplyDeleteScroll to 1: 30 & 2:30 for the action.
[NB the clip's title is wrong - it's a python.]
C'est formidable!
ReplyDeleteAnd if the "bait" fellow's name's Monty, it would be perfect!
"Best to retreat 10 meters and shoot it with a high powered rifle to be sure its dead,"
ReplyDeleteNope, retreat 10 meters, pull out your cell phone and call the RSPCA...
An animal *can* survive a high velocity round...nothing survives the RSPCA .
"Best to retreat 10 meters and shoot it with a high powered rifle..."
ReplyDeleteBit of an overkill for a python. It's not like it can charge you...
"Scroll to 1: 30 & 2:30 for the action."
Yikes!
"An animal *can* survive a high velocity round...nothing survives the RSPCA ."

"Squamata" Boar, the article sais.
PYTHONS are "Pythonidae"
CAN it be true, that you are falling into the trap of Daily mail zoology???
Do they hunt in packs, or tribes?
