Sexy snakes slip into suburbs
THIS pair of dirty dancers have become entwined in a suburban love story outside the home of former State of Origin great Greg Dowling.
Mr Dowling spotted this affectionate pair of pythons in a raunchy dancing act out the front of his home yesterday.
As the temperatures rise, the cold-blooded reptiles are coming out to sunbake, feed and look for mates.
This pair found each other on Pheasant St at Bayview Heights yesterday.
Mr Dowling said he was more than happy to stay the "bloody hell away from them".
"Bloody oath I’m scared of snakes," he said.
"I walked out on my veranda and I thought it was a palm frond in the breeze.
"I had another look and it was a pair of snakes. They went for about an hour – twirling and lifting about a metre off the ground and hissing.
"All the neighbours came out for a look and one of them put them in a bag and got the snake handler to collect them.
"It was one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen."
