Subject:* SNAKES ALIVE - Read story first.... This story came from our CASA (civil air safety authority) Darwin office (waaay up north........
 
Hello all - thought you might be interested in these photos of a snake caught on an electric wire on a sheep station near Alice Springs (Central Aust, near Ayers Rock).
the story goes that some Army boys, on manoeuvres, came across this rock python. Caught in an electric, fence it's continually being shocked, and getting rather cranky! The Army boys, wondering what to do with it, decided to divert the current, snip the wire and let the snake go. They then reattached the wires and rejoined the current without any problems.
When the station owner found out he went ballistic - apparently the snake has been eating all the young sheep in the area, and he's been trying to shoot it for ages.
