Have you ever eaten yourself into a food coma?
Charlie the 3m olive python has, recently swallowing an entire wallaby and hiding away behind an air conditioner in one of Lake Bennett’s bungalows to digest.
Charlie was found by proprietor Carolyn Reynolds, who said it only took 20 seconds to catch the slow-moving snake.
“That’d last it two months – that’s its Christmas dinner,” she said. “It would have crushed it, suffocated it, and gorged on it.”
Ms Reynolds took Charlie, who she estimated was about 15, to visit the NT News en route to Crocodylus Park.
She was dropping the snake off at the park to be cared for by the team over the silly season. “It’d be quite good for the kids to look at for Christmas,” she said.
Olive pythons can be found in dry areas of Northern Australia.
They eat mammals – like the delicious wallaby Charlie swallowed – and aren’t considered to be venomous, but can still bite.
