A peak under the weed pile plastic yesterday afternoon didn’t reveal any reptiles but Allen did find a small clutch of eggs. However, when he returned after dark, once the day had cooled down, he found a Carpet Python curled tightly around her eggs. About 400 mm apart, also taking advantage of the warm, dry place was an Amethyst Python nestled well under the vegetation.

The pink arrows point to the snakes. Carpet python on the left and the Amethyst Python on the right.
This morning they were both still there – we moved a bit of vegetation away from the Carpet Python’s head and as she moved it was possible to get a glimpse of an egg. After a couple of quick photos we carefully replaced the plastic and weed mat and left them both in peace.
As far as we know there is only one clutch of eggs – we’ll try to keep an eye on events under the cover without causing too much disturbance.
