Biiiiiiiig snake


This story came from the CASA Darwin office........

Hello all - thought you might be interested in these photos of a snakecaught on an electric wire on a sheep station near Alice Springs.... the storygoes that some Army boys, on manouvres, came accross this rock pythoncaught in an electric fence it's continually being shocked, andgetting rather cranky?!?

The Army boys wondering what to do with it , decidedto divert the current, snip the wire and let the snake go . They then reattached the wires and rejoined the current without any problems.When the station owner found out he went ballistic - apparently, thesnake has been eating all the young sheep in the area, and he's beentrying to shoot it for ages.

For the non-Aussies ... Alice Springs is a township in Central Australia.
