VISITORS to Tallebudgera Creek witnessed the love between a man and his snake Sunday afternoon.

Brisbane musician Indy Davies said he was hanging out in the sand at the popular family swimming area about 3pm when he saw the man believed to be in his 40s walk down to the water with a snake around his neck.

“This dude came out of nowhere with a tallie of VB and a snake around his neck,” the 28-year-old said.

In the clip the pair — man and suspected carpet python — appear to have a lighthearted wrestle before kissing and making up.

“Then he just threw it into the water and it swam back to him and then they just seemed to be playing,” Mr Davies said.

“He had a good swim around — it was pretty rock ‘n’ roll.”

After about half an hour Mr Davies said the pair stopped playing and went on the a tour among beachgoers.

“He came up to us, he was pretty social, he said hello to us and said check out my snake — I forget what his name was through,” he said.

“The kids down at the park loved it but the parents hanging around weren’t so happy, some of the mums were freaking out that he threw it into the water.”

Mr Davies said he and bandmate Matt Itzstein, from band Wakan Phoenix, thought the guy was a local legend at the time.

“I thought a guy like that would be really well known around town,” he said.

“I really hope he doesn’t get pulled up for animal cruelty — I’ve never seen him swim back to him like that.”

“It was incredible — the snake kept coming back to him, like, all day.”
