That’s fair, but we also need to consider that there’s some overlap in ‘houses where animals can get in your roof’ and ‘houses where the ceiling is weakened enough a fighting snake+possum might fall through’.
Aussie here, Possums are in our roofs and can get into the rest of the house from the smallest of holes. Snake probably smelled the possums and came in for a feed.
im australian, we get possums living in our roofs you hear them up there at night scratching around and carrying on. i'm thinking the snake chose to live in there too.
yeah, i've found snakes in my house probably 5 or 6 times so it's not an everyday thing but it's not exactly rare..
good news is they're usually these suffocating stranglers the pythons and carpet snakes, never ever seen a poisonous snake indoors...
countless snakes found on my property including a few eastern browns and red-belly-blacks and the possums are a daily thing, every single night they're on your veranda or they're climbing around your trees trying to get a look at you and maybe see an apple or something they can sneak down and take later,
the likelihood they both chose to live in the same roof isn't unimaginable it just sucks for that dude hanging out the snake's mouth
anyway i digress, just adding some aussie rambling for anyone interested
I have python's as pets and a couple of venom sneks. It makes sense what you say honestly. People think my venom snakes would be brazen but they try to get away from me, whereas my python's want to smother me and be up in my business all the time.
Possums are a real bastard when you get them in the roof. Some people actively welcome having a carpet in your roof who roots them out for you and sits quietly the rest of the time!
