Frugal Ambush Predator

Great picture of a Carpet Python Waiting to Ambush Prey

Coastal Carpet Pythons are primarily ambush predators, which means they sit in place and wait for food to come to them. Here we see a python in a hanging plant pot nearby some roosting Rock Doves. The Rock Dove is an introduced pest, so any help from nature to reduce their numbers is a good thing!

The python was an unwanted guest at the Toowong client’s home so our snake catcher removed and relocated it this time.
