Neuguinea Amethystpython in Port Douglas

Da gibt man Unsummen für Dschungeltouren aus und dann -“unverhofft kommt oft”!!

I still thought I should take the heavy camera at all, I just wanted to go to the center 500 m to the supermarket, because yes, my fear to miss something has triumphed!

Although I do not know if it was instinctive, since I do not ever look up into the trees, but I've just seen! A about 4 feet long Amethystine New Guinea on a tree branch in about 10 meters high!

I could not believe my luck and began at once to photograph it happening as quickly approached the first walkers. A neighbor told me that the snakes like to be here sometimes "hang out" there was probably already Attaken on people like you in this newspaper article can read.

On the way back, I naturally looked only into the trees! But the constrictor was no longer there, unfortunately! But today I had probably double happiness and saw 300 meters, opposite the entrance of my hostel still a beauty!

Here in Port Douglas suffer the Pythons not hungry, especially now in the flying fox season is not. Hundreds of these giant bats hanging in the trees here and do it right noise and dirt!

Indeed, I suspect that the second snake has eaten recently, namely if you look closely, one discovers an unusual bulge on the body of Python.

So far so good, let's see if I was walking today afternoon in the other direction and finally get a crocodile in front of the lens 😉
