Never Kill A Carpet Python in Your Roof — Here's What Most Homeowners Don't Know

Please Subscribe For More 👉 ‪@AussieBackyardVenom‬ You're up in the roof cavity with a torch, hunting for the source of a scratching noise you've heard for weeks, when the beam catches something thick and patterned coiled around a roof beam, easily as long as you are tall, and it isn't moving. Your stomach drops before your brain even catches up, every instinct screaming that something this big, sitting silently in your own roof, has to be a serious problem. But what if everything you believed about this snake was completely wrong? Because the massive, motionless shape staring back at you in the torchlight isn't the threat you think it is, and it may be the exact reason that scratching noise hasn't turned into something far worse. This is the carpet python, one of the most common snakes found living quietly inside Australian roofs and sheds, and chances are it's been up there far longer than you realise. So why is finding a massive python living in your roof space actually one of the best pest control discoveries a homeowner can make, and what should you actually do about it now that you know it's there?
