Fifty-eight-year-old Bob is taking no chances as he spots the huge serpent, barely visible in the scorched undergrowth.
He lithely walks to his truck to retrieve his loaded shot-gun and returns to the place where the python is lying in ambush for a passing meal.
The first shot rips into the snake’s beautifully camouflaged torso – the shock sends its head into the air and Bob takes it out with a second lethal bullet.
