Penny Possum
On Friday night the dogs were going crazy. I let them out of the laundry door and they wouldn’t stop barking. It was dark but I noticed a strange shape, so we investigated and there was a python eating a possum. The possum had a baby which was clinging to it. I tried to distract the python while Ian rescued the baby possum using a plastic long handled rake. It was really tiny and squeaking. We wrapped it in a towel and Ian sat in the dark keeping it warm until the rescue people arrived 9.30pm. They also took the python away thank goodness. Unfortunately Mum possum couldn’t be saved.
Sunday morning Angus, our Westie, was in the same area and wouldn’t come back indoors. I investigated and discovered another possum. It was alive thank goodness. We wrapped it in a towel, kept it warm, gave it a little lactose free milk and took it right away to the RSPCA Wildlife rehabilitation centre in Eumundi. The girls there said that Percy Possum was doing well and had been actively feeding, so now Penny Possum has joined her brother :- )
The python was about 8 foot long. We saw a python a few months ago passing through along the garden fence, and a discarded snake skin recently, so knew it was around but didn’t dream this would happen.
Not a very good photo as it was low light and I didn't want to upset Penny Possum:-) She is about 4 inches long, not including her tail.
