Not sure when exactly, but the eggs were collected up by one of our many rangers and the carpet python was asked to 'move on'. Nine of the eggs went out to one of the wildlife parks out of town, the other three were kept, they hatched, and now we have three more carpet pythons on the farm. We were asked to come and document their release to various corners of the farm, and Co-worker #1 decided he'd assist by being Mr Big and gently taking the snakes from their box and placing them under a bush, all the while assuring us that carpet pythons are not venomous and the young ones rarely bite ... Co-worker #1 currently has eight (8) small puncture holes in his forearm, though maintains they really are docile animals.

snakes on a farm
More snakes at work; several weeks ago (around the time I last encountered a snake here at work) an email went out saying the carpet python that lives in the toilets of one of the labs had given birth; a dozen eggs to be exact. Apparently she decided that she'd keep the eggs, and herself, in the bathroom as it's safe and dry, so there's been a few people brining in their own bed-pans to keep under their desk so they don't have to visit the snake every time their bladder gets the better of them.
