Overview
- Rachel Bloor awoke in her Brisbane home to a heavy weight and realized an approximately 2.5-meter carpet python was coiled on her chest.
- Her husband turned on the light and removed their dogs as she slowly slid free and ushered the non-venomous snake back out the bedroom window.
- Bloor believes the reptile entered through plantation shutters into the second-story room, with part of its tail still outside the shutter.
- No one was injured and no professional snake catcher was called, with Bloor attributing her calm response to growing up around snakes.
- Snake catcher Kurt Whyte told ABC News that sightings are climbing with breeding season, hot weather, and housing expansion, noting easy entry points such as gaps under garage doors.
