Two snakes have been filmed wrestling at a Queensland home as breeding season ramps up in the state.
“These two here are two combatting males.
“As you can see they’ve got bite marks so these guys are quite equally matched.
“The objective of the game here is the biggest one will push the weaker one down and give up the breeding rights for the female that will be very close in the area.

“They don’t generally bite each other in combat unless they are quite equally matched in length.
Lockett said the Coalfalls call-out was one of three jobs related to breeding season yesterday.
“It is a very common sight this time of year. Just give them their space,” he told 9News.com.au.
“They’re not interested in us, they only get one shot a year to get to the female.”
