A friendly visitor

Yesterday about lunchtime I spotted this (estimated) 8-foot long Taipan on the other side of the flyscreen. It travelled the length of the balcony and went behind a cupboard. Today it stuck his head out so I snapped a few pics. The quality of the photos is poor as it was early in the morning and there was (safety) glass between us - and I'm not too big on window cleaning.

If I spot it again I will have to get it removed but hopefully it'll get bored with my company and move on.
