A 65-year-old Australian woman woke up to a bizarre and terrifying surprise when she found a massive python slithering on her chest in her home in Brisbane. The incident occurred early in the morning on Wednesday while the woman was asleep in her bed. Startled by the reptile’s presence, she managed to stay calm and followed the advice to ‘stay still’ until help arrived. Snake catchers were called to the scene and successfully removed the 2.5-meter-long carpet python from the woman’s bedroom.
Authorities believe that the python may have entered the house through an open door, possibly in search of prey. The woman, who was fortunately unharmed during the ordeal, expressed relief and gratitude to the snake catchers for their prompt assistance. The carpet python was later released back into the wild.
The incident serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that can be found in Australia, where interactions between humans and animals are not uncommon. Experts advise residents to ensure their homes are secure and to contact professional snake catchers in case of similar encounters to avoid any harm to both humans and the animals.
Investigations are ongoing to determine how the python entered the woman’s home and whether any further measures need to be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
