00:00Widespread across South East Queensland, coastal carpet pythons feed on a diet of mice, birds,
00:10possums and the occasional cat or dog. Growing up to 12 feet in length, these non-venomous snakes
00:17are constrictors, suffocating their prey before devouring whole. I've just been walking around
00:25the house and haven't seen it come back out. With a python on the loose, Greg's dog isn't
00:30safe until it can be caught and relocated. So there's a few places to get in here.
00:40There are things like these. Yep. As you see the sun. Yeah, it's pretty dark in there, eh? It's quite
00:47dark in there. Okay. So then there's others. Well, we have a torch so we can have a bit of a shine
00:52around and see if we can spot it. Alright, well, I might go for a crawl, hey?
01:03Definitely tight under there. Oh, he's right here. Oh, you got him? You can just see him up here.
01:09Yep. So we just, um, just spotted him. I stuck my head in there and he's actually right up here.
01:14So, um, just tucked up under here. So what I'll do is I'll try and lay down and reach my arm around.
01:19He's curled up right here. So I should be able to maybe get my hands on him, try and get him out
01:24without getting bitten. Although non-venomous, carpet pythons can inflict a powerful and painful bite
01:31when threatened. Make us to be super careful here. When they're jammed in somewhere like that,
01:36they start to get pretty defensive. So you've got to sort of work with them and try and make them come
01:41out on your own terms.
