Just beat me too it. Its been a while since I lived in Oz but that looks like a carpet snake. Its not a proper ozzie shed if it doesn't have a carpet snake in the roof!

Relax bro, it's a dog. It's a damn snake, and it doesn't matter what breed, it's a snake and you have to be worried about it not on forums!

Are you seriously interested in what kind of snake it is, and not how to get rid of it? You are either a very brave person, or you don't realize the danger.

Upset this one trying to get him off the road.

No manners.
Ar$ehole wanted me.

Okay I grabbed his tail cause he weren't moving.

He left without incident.


LOL

They are just about the only legal way of removing a possum permanently from your roof.
They work a treat too and clean up the rats while they're at it.

We don't mind having a couple in our roof; although you need to warn the tradies.

nah, you just need some imagination.

A guy at work threw a handful of dog food on to the neighbours roof a couple of times.
A few days later, no possums at his place.

If they start eating them they'll start farming them no doubt.

I had a friend back in the day who lived like a hippy. He had a python and a possum living in his roof. The possum used to piss on the ceiling and the ceiling sagged above the stove. Possum piss seeped through the ceiling and dripped onto the stove. He put up with with it for 2 years then it stopped. The python ate the possum.

That remind me exactly mine weekender where possum live in the roof space. Snake is crawling near by but never can get the possum. But one day I saw huge monitor ( reptile not a tv screen) carrying dead possum found under the house ( the other one because that on the roof wake up always in the middle of the night and make noise while walking on celling) .Now I have also plag of mice, catching 10 in mouse traps in one night.Funny that feed on kilos of best quality poison from Bunnings for no effect at all.

^^ a little cruel.
Spring based traps that immediately kill are humane. Of course can't do large numbers that way in a plague.
A .22 rifle with ratshot = effective and humane.
