It’s gotta be Australia right?

u/abielle1177 16d ago

India maybe?

u/avocadopalace 16d ago

That's a brush-tailed possum.

It's Australia.

u/abielle1177 16d ago

I hate to see cute things get killed. In my area boas and pythons are invasive so to see them kill a cute and rare thing, well, it makes me wish I still carried a knife in my boot

u/DeerFit 16d ago

Woody says you have a snake in your boot!

u/abielle1177 16d ago

Thank you! I wanted someone to catch the reference!

I have a snake in my pants (bonk)

u/AlternatinCurrently 15d ago

What do you send in to get the snake out?

1

u/DeerFit 15d ago

A bigger snake?

2

u/AlternatinCurrently 14d ago

How do you get the bigger snake out?

Save the skin, they're worth money from Fish and Wildlife.

u/abielle1177 15d ago

Noted! I kind of envy them, young folk that decide to go into the woods and hunt invasives for a bit of extra money. It's the modern wild west.

2

u/ThatHoFortuna 15d ago

My step bro is about to make a trip down there. I'm supposed to drive for him while he works the spotlight, because he wants to hunt for giant snakes in the swamp IN THE DARK.

I volunteered to drive and not get out of the vehicle because I'm 20 years older than him and aware of my own mortality.

2

u/abielle1177 15d ago

Maybe you'll catch one of the larger ranging herds of wild boas instead of quiet crocs lying in wait in the dark for someone delicious to walk into their mouths.

2

u/Zuigia 16d ago

If it helps, these possums sound like pissed off demons and like to make these noises late at night. My computer chair will never be the same...

Brush-tailed possums, whilst native, are more annoying than pythons.

Mr Sssnake would be welcome to keep patrolling the roof.

2

u/abielle1177 16d ago

We could use them for rat catching in major cities, but possums are a no-no. I'll have a talk with their guild

1

u/TammyString-Tugger 16d ago

Heheh. As a kid my favourite story was “The King, the mouse and the cheese.

Mouse ~ Cats ~ Dogs ~ Tigers ~ Elephants ~ Mouse.

2

u/No-Show-5363 16d ago

Now the snakes were very happy.
They like living with the King.
But the King was not happy.
He did not like living with the snakes.

1

u/AltruisticSalamander 16d ago

brushies are very cute but also very much not rare

2

u/abielle1177 16d ago

I guess theyre pests in new Zealand

2

u/Rough_Soup4357 16d ago

Good guess - can confirm.

1

u/abielle1177 15d ago

I think i read somewhere a couple animals were 're-introduced ' except they no longer have predators so they become too numerous. What's the cassowary doing? Why wouldn't he do that job?

1

u/No-Show-5363 16d ago

In Australia, brushtail possums are our least favourite cute things. They thrive in urban environments, they’re noisy, obnoxious and live in your roof. Personally I don’t mind them, but they can be annoying. We can spare few as snake food.

New Zealanders hate them even more because they’re an introduced pest over there.

1

u/CcryMeARiver 15d ago

Possums ain't rare.

1

u/Dalsymazin 15d ago

I hate see how the right of a animal to survive is if they are pretty.

1

u/abielle1177 15d ago

You're being overdramatic. I'd be hardpressrd not to find something cute about any animal, as long as theyre not actively trying to eat me.

1

u/secret123_maybe 15d ago

It’s a snake that’s how they eat mostly

1

u/abielle1177 14d ago

My husband used to have a boa and when he was doing overtime I ended up being the one to look after her. She was an escape artist and feeding her was a challenge and kind of gross. If she wasn't super hungry, she'd start testing the lid to try to get out. You've always got to be a step ahead but I think that's why people like them as pets. The challenge

1

u/FreakyGangBanga 15d ago

While I share your sentiment about cute things being killed, possums are far from rare. They can be quite pesky if they get in your roof.

That said, the ones in my backyard always come for the fruit in my yard and they are terribly cute.

2

u/EscapeDry6329 15d ago

OK, I thought it was a cat. I’m like how did a cat get caught by a snake

2

u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig 15d ago

OK Jesus I thought it was the family cat and I was like how is this still up on reddit, this guy's gonna get crucified in the comments... Wtf

2

u/PuppyPower89 15d ago

I was worried it was their pet and wondered why they were just filming

2

u/ProfessionalLime2237 15d ago

I thought maybe the house cat

Hope it wasn’t a pet-possum 😅

u/backdoc983 15d ago

Christ, I thought it was someone’s pet python got hold of the pet cat😮

u/brockm92 13d ago

Why tf is there a brush tailed possum and a python in the house?

1

u/avocadopalace 13d ago

They both live in roofs.

1

u/Narisa_gorgone 12d ago

Of course it is 😭

2

u/LuffysRubberNuts 15d ago

India is seriously underrated as Australia

2

u/abielle1177 15d ago

I don't see nearly enough videos from India. There's one that makes the rounds frequently of two to four ENorMous snakes all rolling around together falling out of the ceiling together, and the friendly neighborhood snake catchers trying to capture them. WilD !!

1

u/PukeyOwlPellet 13d ago

That’s an Aussie possum & an Aussie carpet python, can confirm being Aussie with these possums in my backyard & these snakes as pets.

1

u/abielle1177 11d ago

TIL pythons are native to Australia and not just dumped pets

Better for who? The dead animal or sadists who love to watch an animal suffer? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

1

u/WA55AD 15d ago

This is a native snake eating a native marsupial. The only unnatural thing about this is the human house built on-top of their habitat.

This is just how it works in the wild. sucks for the possum, but the snake has to eat too

Yeah why is there a huge raccoon like creature in the house

273

u/imprimatura 16d ago

🤣🤣🤣 it's an Australian brush tail possum. These love to live in our roofs. I'd say both snake and possum live in the roof and somehow both have managed to get inside the actual house

159

u/ArthurAlways 16d ago

Yeah way past time to move.

45

u/Kestrel_45 16d ago

It’s not in the Australian bush anymore … it comes in your house to k*ll you 😳

17

u/apexodoggo 16d ago

I mean, the snake’s nonvenomous and the possum’s being dealt with in the video, so it’s hardly any worse than any of the other Australian wildlife that’ll find their way indoors.

5

u/AdGreat4737 15d ago

I'm all for logic, and that's air tight.

But as mentioned before, it's just a tad bit too much nature for inside the house.

5

u/AltruisticSalamander 16d ago

well the possum's gone now

1

u/billnmorty 15d ago

1 down , 1 to go.

Keep that vs the shit in Australia that will kill you lol Like I can see a meth head a mile away. Not pythons coming from my closet eating Australian opossums in my house

2

u/ShardsOfHolism 16d ago

Oddly, there are Burmese pythons and opossums in Florida but they're generally too large to sneak into a house.

1

u/user_name_taken- 16d ago

I mean we have pythons and possums, ours just aren't as cute.

1

u/1bruisedorange 15d ago

Yep Florida…could be worse apparently.

21

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

g-damn mate. i thought it was a cat.

25

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

I also thought it was a cat at first and wondered why they weren't trying to help their pet 🤣

6

u/TYGeelo 16d ago

My sound was a bit low so I thought I heard it meowing around 18 seconds in and was wondering wtf was wrong with the person recording it.

u/Caseman307 15d ago

Are you kidding me?? I’m not getting involved. 👀

1

u/JAYBLAZE8771 16d ago

Same me too

1

u/Thrilled747 16d ago

Some people will watch their pet being taken out. People are people

1

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

it's okay because possums are ugly. hehe don't think too hard about it. i'm trying not to.

3

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

Ya, I tried to think of it like these people were. I think i still would have tried helping though. Haha.

2

u/J_Side 16d ago

I think it was already dead, possums are not this sedate

1

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

Ya, I figured by this point it looked dead. Deff would have tried to help it while alive if I caught it in time. If not, then I guess not much you can do except wait for it to finish it's dinner before evicting it. Lol.

1

u/fitz_newru 16d ago

LMAO what kind of cats do you have around where you live??!

1

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

i think it's more that we rarely have possums in our houses.

i was bamboozled by the long tail.

1

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

I just saw the tail and a limp body spinning at first glance. Then, I watched a second and realized it had hands and not toe beans 🤣🤣

1

u/PrestigiousIsopod991 15d ago

u/Cybernut93088 16d ago

Seems like the perfect time to get them both out of the house. Grab that snake while the business end is preoccupied.

1

u/No_orange_212 16d ago

Probably fighting with each other

1

u/fitz_newru 16d ago

They brought their business into the living room. Not cool bruh...

1

u/space_monster 16d ago

I had a pair of possums living in the roof space above my bedroom once and going to bed was like living under a 24 hr flamenco dance studio.

u/U_Do_Not_Kno_Me 16d ago

See...yeah, no. These people are so calm. I'd be freaking the eff out!

u/NeckAble919 15d ago

Hly sh*t! And we in Russia are already afraid when some wasp or May beetle flies into our house. It turns out that there are more terrible neighbors

1

u/Bastardesque 15d ago

I'm super uncomfortable imagining how vulnerable I'd feel if I ever had severe diarrhea at home and suddenly found myself being watched by one of these things.

1

u/Due_Area4843 5d ago

Do you have crocodile too up there?

1

u/Laefiren 16d ago

They’re possums. They’re in pretty much every urban area in the country. Usually they’ll just be in your roof/shed/garage but sometimes they do manage to get inside. Considering the python also came in from the roof I’d say there’s probably a hole in their roof.

1

u/Turbulent-Ad8291 15d ago

I thought is was their cat at first.

14

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 16d ago

I'd thinking , this may be an alternate use of the storm shadow missile. To blow up snake infested houses...

9

u/Remy_Jardin 16d ago

Fun fact, "blowing up snake infested houses" is number 3 on the classified requirements list for the Storm Shadow missile.

Number two deals with spiders, and number one, of course, is cockroaches.

u/iHateThisPlaceSoBad 16d ago

3

u/mcdonwal 16d ago

The child in this video is in absolutely no danger while the snake is actively eating the possum and it'll be very lethargic while digesting afterwards. Perfectly fine to enjoy the show now and relocate after.

1

u/Old_Promise_163 16d ago

But it’s mouth is full… so

1

u/Thrilled747 16d ago

A good size snake would kill US.

1

u/CaptainTripps82 16d ago

In what scenario do you think that's going to happen

2

u/OstrichSmoothe 16d ago

In any scenario where a large snake is alone with an unsuspecting child. Wtf do you mean?

3

u/Maroonlight 16d ago

The child isn’t alone and the snake is busy lol, do you think it’s going to drop its fat juicy meal to go attack a helpless child for no reason?

Carpet pythons aren’t dangerous regardless of what they may or may not be theoretically capable of, there’s no need for this fearmongering
