When is a carpet not a carpet?

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Carpet

When it is a Carpet Snake!

Carpet Snakes are Pythons and are non-venomous gentle creatures. They rely on squeezing their prey and swallow them whole. It’s not to say they don’t bite as they do. I have been bitten as I dragged a Carpet Snake backwards from my chook pen away from the baby chickens. It was a bit miffed I guess about missing out on dinner. I was probably too complacent but juggling a three meter snake and a torch with squawking chooks I took my eye off the snake and he whipped around at lightning speed and bit my hand. Just a bit of blood as they have backwards facing fangs. A short walk back into the bush well away from the chooks and I deposited him to slither away and find another place to eat.

These images are from my besties. Carpet Snakes make great biological pest controllers.

This is the month…..

Ragtag Daily Prompt Saturday: Rosy Hues

I was sitting in the garden talking on the phone when he came by. Sitting in the Grevillea and they over to a bird bath. I didn’t have my camera and the phone camera wasn’t available as I was on an important call. So to let you see what I hope to see maybe tomorrow or during the week ahead, which gives me a rosy hue is the beautiful Rose Robin.
