Peter B Posted March 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Another version of the story here: http://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2014/03/03/3955563.htm Ms Corlis says the incident has not discouraged her from swimming at Lake Moondarra in the future. "I think I'll just send someone else in first." Excellent attitude, as long as it's not me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Chubb Posted March 3, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted March 3, 2014 the crocodile ate juniour chubb before the snake ate the crocodile Luckily I used a knife borrowed from Mick Dundee to cut myself out of the croc and escape, this left the croc wounded and made the conflict a lot easier for the snake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted March 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2014 After finding out the sizes of the creatures, I was not nearly as impressed as I though I would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopToffee Posted March 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2014 After finding out the sizes of the creatures, I was not nearly as impressed as I though I would be. Yes I was expecting some monster snake and a 15 ft croc to be going at it.Still interesting though because I didnt know Australia had Pythons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did I say? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-14/family-dog-swallowed-by-python-inside-its-kennel/5321744 A pet dog chained inside a kennel has been swallowed by a large python at Lismore in northern New South Wales.The owner of the chihuahua-maltese dog discovered the carpet python inside the kennel with a large bulge in its body. The dog's chain was still hanging from the snake's mouth. I believe I've earned the right to say "I told you so." And if I stop posting, perhaps you might like to check for snakes...
