Unexpected guest: Woman finds python in spare room

CTV News Channel: Python slithers into apartment An Australian woman woke up to a slithery surprise visitor when she discovered a 15-foot python in her apartment.

A five-metre python slithered its way into an Australian woman's guest bedroom earlier this week, startling the woman when she woke to find it draped across the bed and along the wall.

Trina Hibberd, of Queensland, posted a video of the massive snake on Facebook. The video shows the python's body draped over a hat rack, across the top of a wall hanging, and wrapped around the edge of a door frame. Another photo shows the snake draped over a bedframe.

"We've got a visitor and it's… huge," Hibberd says in the video.

The python, which Hibberd calls Monty, slithered its way into the house at 4:30 a.m. Hibberd said on Facebook that it was "crashing around the bedroom" while she waited for animal control workers to arrive.

"Have it locked in the bedroom waiting for help," she wrote.

Hibberd told her friends on Facebook that the snake has been living in the roof of her home for several years, and he "used to slither down into the pool area for a feed and a drink then slither back up just before sunrise."

Wildlife experts eventually showed up to remove the snake.
