天降奇蛇

An Australian returned home and was surprised to discover that his kitchen ceiling had collapsed under the weight of two large pythons apparently fighting over a mate.

一名澳大利亚人回家后惊讶地发现，他厨房的天花板被两条巨蟒压塌了，而这两条巨蟒显然是在争夺配偶。

David Tait entered his home in Laceys Creek in Queensland state on Monday and found a large chunk of his ceiling lying on his kitchen table.

周一，大卫·泰特走进他位于昆士兰州莱西溪的家中，发现厨房桌子上有一大块掉下来的天花板。

"I knew we hadn’t had rain, so I looked around to find what had caused it,” Tait told Nine Network television on Tuesday.

“我知道这里没有下雨，所以我环顾四周，想找出天花板垮下来的原因，”泰特周二对九网电视台说。

He soon found two culprits — non-venomous carpet pythons 2.8 meters (9 foot, 2 inches) and 2.5 meters (8 foot, 2 inches) long — that had slithered into a a bedroom and living room.

他很快发现了两名“罪犯”——长2.8米(9英尺2英寸)和2.5米(8英尺2英寸)的无毒地毯蟒，它们溜进了一间卧室和一间起居室。

The snakes have an estimated combined weight of 45 kilograms (100 pounds).

据估计，这些蛇的总重量为45公斤(100磅)。

Snake catcher Steven Brown was called to remove the two snakes.

他们请来了捕蛇者史蒂文·布朗来移走这两条蛇。

“I would assume that it was two males fighting over a female that was nearby in the roof,” Brown said.

布朗说:“我认为是两只雄性在争夺附近屋顶上的一只雌性。”

He suspected the female could still be in the ceiling or nearby.

他怀疑那条雌蛇可能还在天花板上或附近。

The males were returned to the wild, but the suspected third snake hasn't been found.

雄蛇已被放回野外，但疑似的第三条蛇尚未被发现。
