A video has emerged of two male diamond pythons dueling on the porch of a New South Wales home.

The footage, posted to the Lake Macquarie Snake Catcher Facebook page on Friday, showcases an example of combat between male snakes.

In the recording the pythons can be seen twisting and turning, entangling in one another as they fight for dominance outside the Tingira Heights home.

Colin Shoemark, who runs the Lake Macquarie Snake Catcher Facebook page said the pair were fighting for the right to mate with a potential female.   

‘These two males will entwine each other and push the opposing males head down till the dominate male drives the other male away allowing him the opportunity to mate with a female in the area.

‘A not so common sight for most,’ he added.

One woman, who presumably lives in the home where the snakes appeared commented on the video saying she didn’t realise they were fighting. 

‘I thought they were mating until Colin set me straight. Milly (the dog) wasn’t impressed but I was. Awesome,’ she wrote. 

In just two days the video has been viewed more than 127,000 times and has been re-shared to 1,370 pages.
