Carpet Python Visit

Carpet Python with students

What a treat it was last week when our resident carpet python came to visit us. Pythons are nocturnal so she is usually spleeping up high whilst we are here but last week, she came down to see us. Did you know that large pythons such as this one can live for more than 20 years and they only need to eat around once a week? Living in the bush, students at Rosebank Public School are very snake aware and always give snakes a wide berth to carry on with their business. Our lovely Grounds Assistant, Phil, handled the python, but we were all keen to gently touch her and marvel at her size.
