00:00Although non-venomous, carpet pythons have a mouthful of needle-like teeth that can cause serious damage to humans.
00:11Growing up to 12 feet in length, these snakes love coming into people's homes, where they can hunt rats, possums and even small pets.
00:22I can probably reach him with a hook here, Mick.
00:25Can we reach him from the other side, though, because otherwise he'll just want to keep going deeper, I reckon.
00:31See if you can hook part of him back that way.
00:34With the snake in a tight space, Adele has to be extremely careful not to injure the python while trying to remove it.
00:41How are you going there? Are you getting him?
00:44He's just out of reach.
00:46Do you want access on the other side of that?
00:48Yeah.
00:49Because you can go through here?
00:50Yep.
00:52The plan now is to encourage the python to move towards the hole it first came through.
00:57It's working.
00:58Is it?
00:59Is he going back the other way?
01:00Yeah, he is.
01:01Moving back up.
01:02It's going to be a slow game, this.
01:05So this is the carpet python that we have at the moment, and he's actually gone through two panels of fencing.
01:10So it's all blocked off. There's not really any way we can get in. There's only one way in and one way out.
01:15Keep moving, buddy.
01:17Sweetie, let me know when you're a bit closer and I'll unduck it.
01:20Oh, I know. He's doubled back.
01:25Might have to just rip a pan off.
01:30Oh, that's it.
01:34Nice.
01:35Oh, it's true.
01:36Yeah, I got him.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Alright, there's his head.
01:40Come on, buddy.
01:41Back this way.
01:43Yeah, if you want to just hold there with a little bit of force.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Hello, little head.
01:50Don't bite me.
01:51You just hold him there. I might just take this panel off as well so we've got a little bit more to play with.
01:56Yeah.
01:57If it comes off as easy.
02:00Hi.
02:01Welcome.
02:03Let's get his head to come out.
02:05And then he'll hopefully bring himself out.
02:07Come on.
02:09I'm just trying to do this as gentle as possible. Here we go.
02:12It's taken over an hour.
02:14Hello.
02:16You're out of the fence.
02:17Nice.
02:18But the python is finally free.
02:21You can have a better look at him if you can bring him out here if the boys want to see or something.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Much to the relief of Brian and his family.
