Lostlantern can you please provide a link to where the story was posted?
I'd like to check it out. The snake looks much like a carpet python but the fence shown is not electric. Carpet pythons are rated harmless / non venemous but can bite (especially when handled by people with stinging soap or perfume reside on their hands). They are very common, grow up to 4 metres long and can swallow things up to the size of a toddler.
A comparison:

The 'sheep eater' :
(reminds self to NOT attend any apostafests in Oz where there's sheep OR snakes)
Frannie: Only goats go to the apostafests!!
It's not the usual experince for most Aussies though who live in urban & suburban places...
Dunno 'bout that, there's a lot around Bethel!
Who said that? lol .. geez Adelaide, fair enough but Sydney is full of wildlife.
Even us 'westies' had platypus in Toongabbie creek
I believe that it is a Reticulated Python as they are the largest snakes in the world. Although it could very well be a Burmese

Where ever that snake came from it is one helluva big snake and I wouldn't want to meet him.
Here's a link that claims these pics were shot in South Africa, not Australia:
Poor snake . . .hope he got away, but it looks like he was electrocuted.
When I first read this thread title I would have bet it was from Unc posting a picture of his dinger.
Gumby
Crude Australians don't have dingers gumby - they have dongers (true - ask ozzie lol) As in the saying "dry as a dead dingo's donger".
