An enormous water python has devoured a metre-long fresh water crocodile following an epic duel that shocked onlookers at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, on Sunday

Was the croc a freshwater or saltwater type ? Hard to tell from the photo.

That is one serious python, and here i was thinking it was the poisonous ones we had to watch out for :/

I used to work at gunpowder mine north of mt isa and a lot of the barminco workers there had pet snakes and freshys in their shower bases.... :/

 

[dwt]

the best we had at our mine was an ibis down the decline and huntsman spiders in the shower rooms
that suited me just fine

I used to go for swim in lake Moondarra after work. If you stay still for short time in the shallow water, shoal of small fish would attack you and start biting you. Have seen some big snakes there, but not as big as this one. Never seen crocodile over there but that was some fourty odd years ago and most of the crocks has been shot out.
