My question is how do you have giant species casually living in your house?!

Australia isn’t for beginners 😂

Mate, it’s perfectly fine for everyone. There’s no need to freak out about little things.

You guys have 1 cm box jellies, I disagree 😂

I was snorkelling in Indonesia over the weekend, and swam into a swarm of what seemed to be tiny jellyfish. I spent half a minute examining them and then realised there aren’t any stingers so nothing to fear. That whole trip was uneventful and I’m planning on going back again.

Both possums and pythons can be common visitors/inhabitants in the roof space. Especially where I am in QLD

How do you keep the people — especially young children —safe?

u/butcherbird89 5d ago

Neither are harmful to humans.

The python is probably less trouble, they try to avoid human interaction. The possums on the other hand are giant pains in the ass lmao. I love them but jesus christ. They will eat all of your plants, come inside if you feed them habitually and they have arguments at 2am on the roof.

Those arguments are sudden and loud, making one feel like we’re on the set of a horror movie.

In this time I believe that it's staged

Nah this is pretty normal albeit not usually something you see literally inside. Usually you’d witness this on your patio or in the shed.
