Carpet Python in the roof
We are about to put our house on the market. Should we tell any prospective buyers that we have a lodger ?
We discovered we had " Percy Python " as a resident about 3 winters ago. We saw him/her sliding along one of the beams of the veranda and into the roof right outside our bedroom. Mr. D L has a phobia about snakes so totally freaked when he saw it. He immediately rushed into the house to check that there were no holes in any of the ceilings where it could come down and " take him " during the night. It tends to come and go a lot during the summer -just leaves a discarded skin somewhere. It's great for keeping any rats away. Does anyone think this will put people off ?

Re: Carpet Python in the roof
Id only keep quiet if it was someone from the UK that was buying it. You only have to look at the responses to this thread to see that
Most aussies wouldnt be too worried about it, but if in doubt just dont say anything .

How cool is that!!! I am a snake lover, venomous or none venomous not really bothered. Diamond pythons are so placid, you may have some problems with it, as there maybe a few people may run for there car. Good luck with the house sale.

We have about 6 acres in the bush and have regularly seen red bellied blacks and occasional browns. Certainly won't mention those but anybody that lives in rural areas knows that they are about in the summer months. We have made sure that the place is always well mowed and there is never stuff lying around that they can hide under and we never ever allow them to come anywhere near the house area. We get the " snake charmer " out !!

of these snakes I shouldn't worry about declaring a "fixed feature" if I were you. You're not declaring every wardrobe too are you?
