"In our house ducts. You can call it paranoia, but I am afraid that the snake will climb back, "- said Perik. Now he is afraid to leave his children home alone. "When it happens once, it did not attach any importance to this, but yesterday I realized that this is serious," - he adds.
The family called the local expert on snakes Stuart Douglas to try to save the dog, but by the time he arrived, it was almost completely zaglochena, sticking only to the hind legs and tail.
Representatives of the local zoo python took to himself. Soon it will be released in the national park. To kill pythons prohibited.
Pythons live in tropical forests of northern Queensland and usually hunt wild turkeys, bats and wallabies. However, the city is expanding rapidly and the snake will inevitably come into contact with pets.
"These pythons ate earlier wallabies, but now they feed cats and dogs", - says Douglas. According to him, Perika concerns about the children are well founded, as a snake this size could kill a small child
