Never seen one, but it looks like a Python, but smaller. The Clarence River Rough Scale snake also looks a bit like a Python. But these only reach about one metre.
I've caught many snakes, including a Brown and three tiger snakes, and except for python bites have only been bitten once. By a Red Belly Black. And was very sick. but no treatment other than Antihistamine. So I do know what I am talking about.

Hi. Have handled pythons many times and never bitten. I've always wondered what their bite would feel like. Would you describe it? How painful and what if any damage...
Cheers
