This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor to Australia to Jeremy Zuckus reporting in New South Wales.

The weather, the climate, the rain, the heat, all of this adds up to snakes

Jeremy a very good day to you now carpet pythons I've learned to respect

because they hide in roofs they hide in houses they come out and they do not bite venomously. They bite though I

learned for the first time. What is characterized in the film clip I saw as a bitey python wrapped around a

rain drain and the snake catcher is on the scene reaching up for him and then is this something you've

seen Python snapping back I thought they just run away good evening to you

Jeremy you know John yes this is something I've actually myself, and this is why when I say I don't like snakes, I don't just mean the venomous ones. I mean literally all snakes,

hyphens while they don't have the venom, while they won't cure your toxins basically, but what they do do is they bite and when they bite they bite hard and not only are they biting as you can see in the film clip there they are actually striking as well so they have a lot of very very

strong muscles in their body where they can actually lash out very quickly and

bite their prey and retract so in this video this shows exactly the dangers of a

Python and why even if you do identify a snake or see it on your property and you

know it's not toxic you leave it alone because in this particular case the snake was hanging off that pipe there and the snake

cat she knew what he was doing.

He actually had approached very, very calmly.

He had not worked the snake up.

He had basically tried to do everything he could to ensure the snake wasn't going to be

energetic and basically be a pain when he picked it up. However the snake did

defend itself and as you can see by the sheer speed that it came out at him at

the snake catcher barely got away without getting any skin ripped off.

And not only did it do it once, it did it multiple times because Python's their best weapon is speed and teeth.

Their fangs are very, very sharp.
