Believed to be locally extinct.  Mainly the local pythons were carpet
pythons with some diamond according to historic accounts found by Matthew
Higgins.  So this seems likely to be an escapee.

Someone at work has shown me a photo of a diamond python taken in a backyard
in north lyneham in theist day or so

How common is this, I thought Canberra was too cold for pythons (the
Canberra nature map only mentions one sighting in Canberra)? Is this an
escaped

Should these people call a snake catcher in to catch it before the winter?
