We were called to a residence today at Wyoming, because the doggie alerted the resident to a really nice Diamond python in their yard. The resident called us and said the Diamond had gone behind their hot water service at the side of the home.
We arrived and found that there was a weep hole (rather large) behind the hot water service.
A search of the yard and a door to under the house. Armed with a torch we went under the house to find the really nice Diamond travelling from one side to the other side under the house.
Bagged and removed from the residence for the snakes safety due to a dog in the yard.
Release video to follow!

Well done to the little girl. She will grow up respecting them and not killing them.

Diamond Python removal from a residence in Bensville, was due to the owners having Guinea pigs as pets.
This guy was perched above watching down on the empty Guinea pig enclosure as the residents remove the little furry friends when they noticed the Diamond camping above!

The neighbors have chickens and rats were coming into the backyard where the diamond was found. The amount of rat droppings was amazing and the resident also had small doggies as well.
The diamond was relocated
