By ELLEN RANSLEY 19 MINUTES AGO SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 Massive carpet snakes, so heavy they smashed a hole in a kitchen ceiling at a home near Brisbane, have given a retiree a terrifying surprise. David Tait found the two reptiles, 2.8m and 2.5m long respectively, weighing about 22kg in total, in his Dayboro home on Monday morning. They had smashed a hole in the fibro ceiling in his kitchen before they slithered their way to a bedroom and the living room. Mr Tait told Westside News he had occasionally seen snakes basking on his roof on cold mornings, but had never heard movements in his roof before. Two carpet snakes, weighing a combined 22kg, have smashed a hole in a Dayboro kitchen ceiling. “We have a lot of bush around here so you do see snakes,’’ Mr Tait said. “When I came back this morning there was a large slab (of ceiling fibro) on the kitchen table. “I found one snake in the bedroom and we found one in the lounge room.” It comes as Tuesday, September 1 marks the official beginning of snake breeding season, according to Steven Brown from Brisbane North Snake Catchers and Relocation. One of the two massive carpet snakes that made a home in David Tait's ceiling. Mr Brown said the snakes in Mr Tait’s kitchen roof had been “some of the biggest and fattest” he’d ever seen. Mr Brown said although carpet snakes could theoretically get up to 4m long, 3m was considered about the largest size in the wild. He relocated both at a state forest about 1km away.
God, what a terrible snake. I wouldn't want that to happen to me. Luckily I don't live in Australia. However, my brother lives in Australia, and he told different stories. He had the same situation when the snake broke through the ceiling and was in the house all day. And he at this time, was at work, and when he came was dumbfounded, he had to call specialists in the repair of roofs, who helped him. Not only did they make a ceiling and a roof for him, but they also pulled this snake out of the house. When he told me about it, I was shocked, so I'm not surprised by these photos. ______________________________ city2surfroofing.com.au
Eh, a carpet snake is basically a large python. It's not venomous and while scary-looking, if you don't bother it it's unlikely to suffocate you either. Just call animal control.
