AI Summary

medium article 2 min

An Australian woman in Brisbane, Queensland, woke up to find an 8-foot carpet python coiled on her chest in her second-story bedroom. Rachel Bloor initially mistook the weight for her dog, but quickly realized it was a snake. After alerting her husband and removing the dogs from the room, Bloor calmly maneuvered herself out from under the covers. Instead of calling a professional, she managed to usher the snake out of the bedroom window herself. She believes the non-venomous python entered through plantation shutters. Snake catchers report increased snake activity due to the end of breeding season and warmer weather.
