Australia: Woman wakes up next to a python curled up on her bed

A woman in Queensland, Australia got the fright of her life when she woke up in middle of the night to find a python on her bed.

Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers who posted the photo of the curled up python explaining how the serpent who is usually seen on the roof of Eumundi wanted to curl up on the bed on Tuesday night.

'I was sent this photo by one of my followers yesterday. They had a resident python that lived in there roof at their home just outside of Eumundi for a while and they would see him from time to time but he would always go back up into the roof,' Stu the snake catcher wrote.

'However one night she woke to find the snake curled up in the bed with her at 3am!'

'Crazy. Snakes don't want to hurt us, sometimes they just want to snuggle,' he added.

The photo shows the python curled comfortably at the top of her bed, right next to her pillow.
