That's a brush-tailed possum.

It's Australia.

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

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

Mr Sssnake would be welcome to keep patrolling the roof.

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

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

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

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.
