A warning to keep an eye out for paralysis ticks this summer after a python was found with over 100 ticks on him.
The snake, lucky to be alive, had the ticks removed after being found at Stradbroke Island in Queensland in July 2013.
Most wildlife have immunities to these types of ticks says vets but this snake immune system was already weak.
This snake bears as a reminder to protect your pet from ticks this season. The RSPCA warns to check your pets over and make sure they are being protected.
