   Carpet pythons will take care of a rug rat infestation though.

   When I was growing up, we had frog ponds all around the house (their croaking fueled a life-time hatred of frogs), but one year a pair of carpet pythons came and sat in the frog ponds for a while. Apparently, they sometimes do things like that to loosen their skin before moulting.

   I read somewhere that those heat receptors are perhaps the most accurate sensory systems in the animal kingdom, capable of discerning variations in temperature of less than 0.0001 °C! (or was it 0.001 °C? Still impressive anyway)

   That is one creepy looking snake. Why is it called a carpet Python? I’d rather deal with carpet beetles in my house than a carpet Python- yikes!
