A Carpet Python in a chicken coop wouldn't be that unusual, but certainly not in Alabama.

I'm not sure that is bredli either. That could just be a Carpet Python from coastal NSW or somewhere like that. That species is a lot more likely in a Chicken Coop than bredli due to where bredli lives.

Of course, if it is really Alabama, then all bets are off...although I still don't think it is bredli.
