Brisbane Woman Wakes to 2.5-Meter Carpet Python on Her Chest

The non-venomous species is common in coastal Australia.

Overview

  • Rachel Bloor discovered the snake late Monday in her Brisbane bedroom after her companion switched on a light.
  • Her companion warned her not to move before removing their dogs from the room to avoid a confrontation.
  • Bloor, who grew up around snakes, stayed calm and guided the python back out of the room.
  • She believes the snake likely slipped through the window shutters and landed on the bed below.
  • No one was injured, and carpet pythons typically prey on small animals such as birds rather than humans.
