Sad But Natural: Python Eats Pet Cat

Natural behaviour, sad outcome

Coastal Carpet Pythons are known to eat very large prey, but what comes as natural to them can sometimes be difficult for us to understand. Suburban pets are unfortunately sometimes on the menu for Carpet Pythons in the Brisbane Region. A client recently called us in regard to a python that had been seen constricting a cat. It disappeared after eating it and reappeared some time later. Our snake catcher Jaedon relocated the snake to a more suitable spot.

We recommend keeping pets indoors as much as possible for their safety and for the sake of wildlife, which more often than not are the victims of pets.
