I've just spent the last 9 days caretaking a property while the owners went away for medical issues and on the last day, I met one of their resident carpet snakes. The morning was quite cool and I gather that he was caught out and couldn't get back under cover until he warmed up.

I reckon that it was just about 2.4m long and 50mm thick.
