R.I.P. Reg (we think….)
6.50am, my phone rings, waking me from a restless few hours of tossing and turning (finally got to bed at 2.30am after thinking, thinking and more thinking…)
“Get here quick if you want to see a huge python with a big belly” Jeff told me.
Now if I’m going to jump outa bed, into the car, with my hair only getting a look from a brush, a big python is going to do it.
Only about a km away, I arrived at Jeff’s work, where one big slithery friend was making it’s way across the road.
See where it’s headed?
Spot the problem yet?
It tried for a while, but breakfast was just too big.
Once it reversed a bit, the gate was swung back to let it go on it’s way.
Can you see the next problem about to happen?
I think a lot of us suffer from the same issue…
We just don’t think we’re that fat….
even though we can’t seem to fit into anything ‘cos it’s such a tight squeeze…
It seemed a bit stumped, so curled up for a think.
All the while flickering that forked tongue.
We left him on his own to work out where he was headed, and not long afterwards, he was gone.
No one has seen Reg, the resident rooster. But I think we have a pretty good idea where he is.
So long Reg.
Reg and Scrub Turkey friend in happier days…

What a great post. I bet it was a male snake, they never believe they are fat. Poor rooster!
Poor Cindy…needs more sleep.
Oh my goodness! Those are some photos!
What a fantastic sequence and story….so interesting visiting you Cindy…you are a joy …not for the poor rooster though…I will give him a little moment….I put my rip up before I saw yours SNAP…and I did try with Adobe Elements 4, could not wait to save for the real deal and will give this a whirl…..It seems so hard to me and this is only Elements of Photoshop…no wonder your eyes were hanging out of your head.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth
Poor poor Reg. Someone laid a full on bouquet of flowers at the crime scene this morning. He was a well loved rooster.
Watch out Elizabeth, Photoshop will start to haunt you!
Oh dear….they breed them mean up there dont they….a whole rooster….one has to ask ‘how?’
Very slowly I guess……. well worth getting outa bed for!
Yes Kim, EVERYTHING is scary big up here….
[…] so, I missed out on this great post from Artoholic Cindy for 12 days. As well as other important and great stuff! And it seems it is not quite over yet, […]
Hey Snos,
Being the reptile fan you are, I bet you would’ve known how to move this big fella along!
Trackbacks? Must have a look at them. Thanks for stopping by,
Cheers
Cindy
Great pics. Do pythons have forked tongues?
Hey Toad trapper,
Yes, they certainly do.
Maybe you can answer my toad question. All of a sudden it semed the toads appeared in huge numbers overnight. And they were BIG. Do they bury themselves and sleep over the Dry Season? First rains and they are everywhere again.
Cheers
Cindy
Wow, those are terrific photos!
Just wait till you see the ones I took last night. As the newspaper has asked for exclusivity, I can’t publish them till Monday.
Stay tuned….
