00:00Ah, Stuart. What? I got him. What? You found him? He's in the tree and he's big. Come here.
00:12Oh, holy s***. Yeah. Jeez, look at the size of him. That thing would inhale a chicken.
00:17You've called us at the right time, Royce.
00:20Olivia and Stu have found the carpet python that was looking for an easy lunch.
00:26Oh, okay.
00:29So, he's in a bit of a sticky spot at the moment. With trees like this, there's so many branches he can latch onto and it becomes quite difficult to get him down.
00:39So, even if we get ourselves into a good position to grab him, what's to stop him from latching on two or three different branches on his way down?
00:45So, this is definitely one of the more difficult ones.
00:49Thank you, Royce. No worries, mate.
00:52That's going to be super duper handy. Now, where is he, Liv?
00:56Over here and he's actually just started getting comfortable for the afternoon.
01:00Carpet pythons are ambush predators, preferring to sit and wait for their prey to come within striking distance.
01:10They're usually nocturnal, but during the breeding season, these pythons are known to roam during the day and night in search of a mate.
01:19I have a hook if you need it.
01:21I'm going to probably grab this and pass it down to you.
01:25Oh, he's holding on to this bloody tree now.
01:30Jeez, he's big. Far out.
01:33Back end of the tail is definitely holding on.
01:36He's just anchored himself in this tree.
01:40As soon as they get their head around like that, you don't want to pull too hard because it can literally injure them pretty bad.
01:46Alright, his head's just hooked around one last little branch.
01:51He's got some length to him.
01:53Bag's right here when you're ready.
01:55Just bear with me for two seconds.
01:59He's proper staring me down. I don't know what he wants to do.
02:04Go that way.
02:07Come on, bud.
02:11Here we go.
02:14Alright Liv, I've got him loose.
02:15Yep, I've got the bag ready for you, mate.
02:17Ready?
02:18Yep, ready.
02:20Nicely done, Stuart.
02:22Wowzers. That is a big snake.
02:26Alright.
02:27He's a pretty snake, hey?
02:28He's gorgeous.
02:29Especially those solid lines down the side.
02:33Which you don't see that often.
02:34Like often they're just like a mottled sort of blotchy spots everywhere.
02:38But those cool solid lines that you can see down the side.
02:45Unlike you.
02:46Mustn't smell too good.
02:48Alright.
02:49Should we send him off?
02:50Yeah, absolutely.
02:51There you go.
