My hubbies family used to own a property on the Anabranch, and on a trip there one day we found one of these in the rafters. Would of been at least 6 foot long maybe more and quite thick. It was in a shearers shed.
Pythons mouths are not really suited to manipulate and consume hens eggs but crows and rats do. Pythons natural prey are rats and mice but particularly rats. You have just removed the best rat catcher you could have. 😒
Obviously hungry

I have forever memories of the Darling River Run. Returning from Perth in 1967 with two friends, we turned north at Wentworth and just kept going through Broken Hill and Wilcannia. We broke down just north of Louth. It was a Sunday evening. Duncan walked back to Louth to get help; Diane and I stayed with the car; the captain of the Louth cricket team was returning from Bourke. He stayed with us. Soon Duncan and the help arrived, and the car was mended. We couldn't even give these non-drinkers a Swan beer. We sat on the road talking; after a while we thought we should get going as we thought it was going to rain. They assured us it never rained there: "You can hit your head on the black clouds but it won't rain". We got to Bourke before there was too much rain. Next day we slipped and slid our way to St. George where there was a Council truck parked on the side of the road. "We heard yous were coming" they said. "We're going to close the road now!" I return as often as I can to refresh those great memories.
We hope to do this part of The Darling River Run next year. Floods have prevented us on previous travels.
