In the middle of an on-camera discussion for an Australian podcast, the tranquil ambiance took an unforeseen twist when a huge snake made an unexpected appearance.
This incident unfolded as Andrew Ward, representing Regen Farmers Mutual, participated in an interview for “Fresh Perspectives,” a podcast produced by Sydney-based consultancy, The Strategy Group.
The unscripted moment unfolded as Mr Ward conversed with the hosts, and a snake emerged unexpectedly from the roof of the pavilion located behind him.
The unexpected intrusion added a dramatic twist to the conversation, capturing the attention of viewers and participants alike.
Simultaneously, both hosts exclaimed, “There’s a snake behind you!” Drawing attention to the black snake hanging from the porch roof. Co-host Alycia Wolf gasped, exclaiming, “Oh my god!” Meanwhile, Mr Ward paused to observe the serpent but maintained a calm demeanor.
“It’ is only a carpet python. He’s the rodent control officer,” Ward said. Carpet pythons, frequently spotted in Australian backyards, are adept climbers. Despite their potential length exceeding 9 feet, these non-venomous serpents are commonly kept as pets.
According to an Australian government website, carpet pythons are nocturnal, grow up to three metres long, and can weigh up to 5kg.
