This is not a quoll. It is a carpet python, found in the south-west of Australia and even kept by some as pets.
You haven’t lived until you’ve had a tame full-grown carpet python fall asleep around your shoulders. You just haven’t. Trust me.
This is not a quoll. It is a death adder, the fourth most poisonous species of snake in the world. And a ham.
This is not a quoll but it is Australian. It is a south-west carpet python being long and lazy.
It’s possible to keep carpet pythons as pets here in Western Australia with the right reptile licence. The ones i’ve met seem to have all had a lovely temperament.
This is not a quoll. This is an eastern brown snake, the second most venomous species of snake on the planet. There’s only one snake in the world with more potent venom (the inland taipan, also an Aussie) but it’s recorded no deaths from envenomation. This makes the eastern brown the most venomous snake in the world that’s on the books as having killed anyone.
Quolls, of course, have never envenomated anyone, though they have been known to bite people.
