Goanna or python?

Do you have a game camera you could put up then you will probably discover where the wooden eggs are going.

Real egg left in hen house is still there so I’m assuming the poor snake that ate the wooden eggs is in the bush dying a slow horrible death. If I had my nephews here they’d be happy as to go wandering through the bush to find it. Breaks my heart a little because it was more than likely just a friendly python that ate them

So far I've only been seeing goannas about this season... I'm very concerned that I am yet to see a snake. The snakes on this farm are as old as the land itself so I know they are out there... but where are they hiding?

It is duck and curlew etc breeding season now so maybe your snakes are happy eating lots of eggs found on the ground

I don't live in Australia but a neighbor was loosing her birds. It ended up being a python under her porch. Apparently someone decided they didn't want it any more and dropped it off. We are rural so now and then we get people's releases. They catch and since we are on a dead end road they release here in our area and give us their problems. A wildlife officer did locate and remove the snake from her property.

People who dump their pets should be shipped to Australia, dumped in the middle of the Nullarbor with a small bottle of water and a compass and told “You’re on your own now. Nobody loves you”.

We don't have any curlew around here, I had to google what it looked like. Plenty of quail and spoonbills but, maybe thats what they're feasting on

Yes snakes can regurgitate if the items is just in their gullet when they realize it isn't food. If they did not realize until it was all the way down then they may be in for a slow death...

And yes I’m aware I’m not allowed to kill snakes. I don’t think I could anyway. I’ve had to pay $$$ in the past to call certified snake catchers to come out and remove poisonous snakes.

We payed $350 to remove a red belly from our coop. They came and got it and the next day there was another one there. Let’s just say we were not impressed

I agree 100%

We get brown snakes around our area. Our neighbour gets them at her house. Thankfully they're haven't shown interest in our birds yet.

$350 woah! Our local guy only charges $70. I guess I’ll stop complaining about paying $70
