We get a lot of the buggers on the roof of our houseboat. Wouldn't mind if the little t*rds took their football boot off.

[Wongo]

Thanks WB,

The python poo is here. It is still warm and fresh. I will put some on the balcony tonight and see how it goes.

Just one question, do pythons eat corns?

Thanks again.

Er, Scott. (Ahem) Are you sure that's genuine python poo he has sent? I mean, he wouldn't have slipped you some.....No, no, .....he wouldn't have done that, of course he wouldn't....would he? :confused:

[Wongo]

Captian, how can I find out whether it is genuine?:eek:

You'll need to find a Python Poo Proof Provider. Try 'P' in the Yellow Pages.

I eat and partially chew corn and my snakes only swallow mice. Snakes do not chew their food.

A close inspection by Scott should reveal whole fragments of mice bones with no teeth marks and not partially chewed corn.

The mice were swallowed by the snake 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Unless the mice had eaten corn prior to being swallowed.....:confused:

Scott

I recommend a very, VERY powerful magnifying glass and a long stick.

Are you poo-pooing me WB?

[Wood Borer]

Scott did it have any effect?

What about the sloughed snake skin?

I might retail the ingredient through the Craporium if it works - good idea?

[Wongo]

Well we had our first possum free night. That stuff smells bloody awful though but hey what do I expect. It is poo afterall.

How much can a python poo a day mate? Coz we might be able to get something going.

I will keep the skin as medicine. Thanks WB.

[Felder]

I've been pondering and I now have a question to pose,

If you place python poo upon your porch to persuade possums to p*ss off promptly, would the same python poo provide a perfume of provacation to other pythons in the precinct?

Translation: Is python poop a similar solution to cane toads? Sure, you get rid of one pest, but gain another?? Or are snakes more territorial and wouldn't come near the stench of anothers poopy?

[Wongo]

Maybe they don't like possum poo.

[Wood Borer]

Snakes are very efficient with their digestion. They can go almost 2 years without eating however mine are fed about 5 small mice every fortnight and they only poo once or twice every fortnight.

You can buy the mice frozen from pet shops in various sizes - pinkies, hoppers etc. Obviously you thaw them out and heat them up a bit before offering them to your snakes. The snakes strike at the mouse, coil themselves around the mouse and swallow them head first. It is quite a spectacular event with the snakes striking and coiling at the speed of lightning.

They are generally solitary creatures apart from during the breeding season of course.

Let’s not get too excited about the results we need to monitor the results over a much longer period of time – it is possible there was happy hour at the local possum pub last night or perhaps a rather explicit Big Possum episode on Possum television last night.

Perhaps the smell of cat cooking in Wongo’s oven also put them off.:eek:

Keep us informed of the results Scott perhaps the possums can tolerate the smell but prefer not to hang around if there is somewhere else to go.

I think you need to be scientific about it Scott which means that you have to set up a control using a different poo.

The question is though, which poo to use?

[Wood Borer]

You seem to be taking an interest in getting rid of possums Craig:eek: :eek: :eek:
