The other day, I was watering and repositioning some pot plants in the garden when a Green Whip snake popped in to drink from the bromliads I filled.

And then today, I almost smushed Rustle the resident Carpet Python! ((( ；ﾟДﾟ))) .

We were worried I may have caused internal damage, but a check over from a local snake wrangler confirmed they were okay.

We released them just a few meters away since it's a resident, but the wrangler noted that they were unusually defensive and hostile, even engorging their throat for a bit, which is apparently unusual. He thinks it may either be a male trying to get to a female or a mother who is oddly away from its nest.
