Thats crazy, reminds me of the carpet that ate the bearded dragon. Was that an olive eating the croc?

Re: Carpet Pythons aren't the only ones...

i think they said the crocodile was only about a meter (so less than 4 ft?) which is still pretty huge of a meal... but i bet the snake could easily be 10-12 ft and still knock it back....

i love you Ozzy's attitudes mate.....

how the lady dog owner in the first picture,is seen proudly showing the feeding bulge in the snake who just ate her pet

imo it's like you accept and value the wildlife so much,you don't get angry at it even when it's ate the family pet

you are so lucky to live in such a wonderful place...

pity it weren't still under old rules from way back in the day...

all i'd need to do is steal a few of a farmers potatoes and i'd be transported to Botany Bay...

now i need a certain amount of money in the bank,have to fill out a ton of immigration forms,and if i have a criminal record...i'm NOT allowed to live there

if it were only old rules,i'd be out stealing potatoes right away


cheers shaun
