Hudson Snake Catcher on the Gold Coast posted this pic to their Facebook page of a whopper snake they removed from a Mudgeeraba home. For all it's size, it's fairly well-hidden.
It's big enough that we had to deviate from our traditional red circle and opt for an oval.
The snake catcher said it was a carpet python. The species can grow to up to three metres long.
Carpet pythons are non-venomous and do not pose a threat to humans, but they can be a danger to pets. As always, if you spot a snake around your home, even a python, it's best to leave them alone and call a snake catcher.
Not one but two snakes were plucked from a water tank at a property in Queensland's Lockyer Valley by Snake Catcher Darling Downs.
Can you spot one lurking?
There was ample room for the snakes to get in, the catcher said in a post on Facebook.
"The roof of the tank was corrugated iron with plenty of gaps for them to gain entry," he wrote.
"About a week ago the gaps were all sealed up, so they were trapped in there."
The non-venomous snakes were retrieved and although "reluctant" biters, the catcher said one did take a nip at him when he bagged it.
The snakes had a distinctive colouring - both were "blue phase", the catcher said.
The distinctive colour is the result of a rare genetic mutation. Blue common tree snakes are less, well, common, than their green and yellow fellows, but are of the same species.
It might be winter – and a particularly cold one at that – but that doesn't mean snakes have disappeared.
Hodgsons Snakes shared this picture on Facebook, challenging eagle-eyed viewers to spot the reptile hiding somewhere in the frame.
Can you spot it?

"The aim of this game is to create awareness in your environment," the snake catchers said.
"It's winter... snakes are around still."
This fashion-forward snake was spotted trying to curl up inside a Birkenstocks shoe at a Burnside home on the Sunshine Coast.
Snake Catcher Dan posted the image on his Facebook page, where he identified it as a red-bellied black snake and confirmed it had been relocated.
Keen-eyed viewers may notice the scales on the snake's eponymous belly are not in fact particularly red, but the species can show some variation.
However, as the Australian Museum notes, in some parts of the population, the snake's belly scales "may be greyish-pink to white".
Although red-bellied black snakes aren't aggressive, it's best to not get too close to make an identification yourself, but to call a snake catcher if one is in or around your home.
This is definitely not what you expect when you're pulling out a desk drawer.

Can you spot where this python is hiding?
Mechanics discovered the snake coiled beneath the vehicle's supercharger.
When attempting to retrieve the snake, Cory said it quickly slithered down the motor and into the car's firewall.
"It decided it would take off again into the inner wheel guards, this time it was his last spot to play hide and seek as it was my turn to win!"
Spotted pythons are generally harmless and can be kept as pets, growing up to 1.4 metres in length.
They are usually found along the north-east to eastern coast, from Cape York in Queensland to northern NSW.
A "hefty" coastal carpet python relocated from Mount Crosby by Snake Catchers Brisbane and Gold Coast.
