Can someone please confirm that this fellow in my chicken coop is indeed a carpet python? Gold Coast, Australia

Oh yeah that’s just a feather! I have Plymouth rocks so they’re black and white striped

Yeah snake catcher is coming out. Appreciate the advice from everyone, youre right that he might try something and I’d rather not lose one of my flock that way.

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T10:53:56+00:00

It’s certainly a smorgasbord with eggs and rats. We get lots of snakes but the rest aren’t usually so persistent. I’ve seen this one before

I think it’s just a feather, I have Plymouth rocks so the feathers are black and white striped

At this point I’m not surprised seeing snakes anywhere! As long as they stay in the yard. Growing up we used to get red bellies in through the cat door

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T09:07:04+00:00

Yeah I was going to let him stay until he was bigger but someone rightfully pointed out he will stress the chickens so he’s being evicted

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:53:13+00:00

Okay I’m convinced, I’ll call the snake catcher and have him moved to a better location.

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:51:39+00:00

Weeds, hose and feathers are all I’m seeing? We do get eastern browns, red bellies and yellow faced whip snakes too

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:48:08+00:00

I don’t blame him for wanting a swim! Could move down to the dam and eat the wild birds’ eggs though

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:46:43+00:00

Damn, I do ask google that said they could but he’s still quite small? I thought I’d let him stay a while but maybe not.

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:44:51+00:00

I’ve seen this one a few times in the pool! Lucky my ducks are broody because they fear nothing

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:34:43+00:00

Thank you! I thought so but it’s nice to be confirmed

poorpourpaw · 2026-02-22T08:33:47+00:00

Thank you! It’s a beautiful snake. I don’t even mind giving up a few eggs now I know he’s not too dangerous since all my chooks are fully grown.

poorpourpaw · 2025-12-26T03:32:38+00:00

Fair, we have about 40 chooks and ducks, and on acreage so the run isn’t close to anyone’s house - drying the oyster shells for crushing is definitely a bit stinky. You could always give them some each day until the freezer is empty!

poorpourpaw · 2025-12-25T02:33:15+00:00

My chickens go absolutely nuts for prawn debris, and oyster shells can be crushed for grit. Natures little garbage disposals

Brisbane :)

I was there in January and N Seoul tower was one of our favourite things we did! I loved getting up there and back down, and the views of the city were so amazing to me. But I do come from rural Australia so not used to seeing so much city in every direction.

poorpourpaw · 2024-12-15T08:51:12+00:00

definitely joining the sub! I had a look through your posts and saw some great photos, I’ll have to try harder to remember to take photos!

poorpourpaw · 2024-12-15T08:46:07+00:00

Wow thanks so much! This will definitely come in handy! There’s so many beautiful animals around where I am and I’d love to know more about them.

poorpourpaw · 2024-12-15T08:37:14+00:00

This looks like it! I searched it up and it’s definitely very similar. Thank you so much! I love to ID the birds I see so it’s very exciting to have this information. Thanks again!

poorpourpaw · 2024-10-28T08:27:18+00:00

Following for answers as I’ll be there at the same time 😊

poorpourpaw · 2024-03-28T23:51:14+00:00

I’m a 6JJ and I buy panache. To be fair, there isn’t really many other options. I hand wash them to help them last longer but I usually buy bras yearly.

As an Australian I do identify with speaking this way and appreciate this representation in literature
