If you're wondering, the snake shown is the Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus) which is Australia's second largest snake growing to 4m+. However, it trails well behind our largest snake, the Scrub Python (Morelia amethistina), which has been documented over 6m. The crocodile is Johnston's Freshwater Crocodile (Crocodylus johnsoni) which reaches maximum sizes of between 2m and 3m.
