A woman got the shock of her life when she found a five-metre python draped across a bed in a bedroom in her house in Queensland.

Trina Hibberd, from Mission Beach in Queensland, posted the shocking photo on her Facebook after discovering the python in a bedroom in her house on Monday. She wrote a caption along with the photo: “This is my guest room!”

Ms Hibberd said that the snake had lived in the roof of her house for years and has finally made his presence known by draping himself across the bed in her guest room, covering her paintings and hat stand, which she captured on video.

The python which she called Monty, is a 5.2m long scrub python and weighs 40kg. He was stretched all the way from Ms Hibberd’s lounge room to the guest room. Ms Hibberd said that the python managed to turn off a light and knock over a lamp before a snake-catcher arrived to handle the situation.

Dave Goodwin, the snake-catcher, was able to get the snake to wrap itself around his arm, then put it inside a home-brewing jug to remove it from the house. He told the BBC that the snake was “choking his arm to death” before he managed to get it to get into the jug.

Ms Hibbers said this isn’t the first time Monty Python had visited her. She said she took her first photo of him in 2012. “He used to slither down into the pool area for a feed & a drink then slither back up just before sunrise unless he had a tummy full of food & got stuck,” she wrote on Facebook.

“Am pretty happy that he’s gone. Snake catcher said he was a kangaroo killer!” Ms Hibberd said.

The snake has now been moved to a sewage pond in order to deal with a rat problem.
