This is Martha, formerly Arthur until her sex was determined.
Resident python, she feeds on chook eggs and her yearly offspring are protected from those eager to steal them for their own gain.
Yes, unfortunately, pythons fetch a lucrative price both here and overseas.
She's like my year 4 teacher. Looks fierce and bites when you annoy her but underneath that scaly exterior (which she is shedding in this photo) lies a soft heart.

Hmmmm...so this python is a pet?
Oh my God...
A pet? Definitely not. "our" is an affectionate term and not meant to imply possession.
But u know a lot about her live. I supose that she lives in you garde too :)
