Oh.
It was hunting the chooks. Monty (Monty Python...also known as a carpet python) is non poisonous and not interested in people.) Although I think this one hadn't been challenged in a while and took a moment to size me up (just like I did standing at the back door) to figure out that it wasn't interested in eating me.
So it backed up through the wire, and went on its business like it hadn't been looking intently at the chooks...nothing to see, I'll just keep window shopping.
