US Edition'Baby, don't move': Australian woman wakes to find massive python on her chest
Rachel Bloor calmly removed a 2.5-meter non-venomous carpet python from her Brisbane bedroom, highlighting rising snake encounters linked to seasonal breeding and habitat encroachment.
- On Monday night, Brisbane homeowner Rachel Bloor woke to find a 2.5m carpet python curled on her chest in her second‑storey bedroom.
- Snake catchers say the python probably entered by squeezing through plantation shutters as breeding season and eggs starting to hatch increase activity near housing developments encroaching on bushland.
- Calmly, Rachel Bloor instructed her husband to turn on the bedside lamp and remove the two pet dogs, then she side-shuffled out and guided the python back through the window, saying, `So, I sort of side shuffled out.`

- Last week, Shane Hancock and Darren Degen found 16 snake eggs and called a reptile rescue group to collect them for incubation; Hancock said `We just felt absolutely sick to the core that she potentially was going to die` and that `the eggs hadn't been hit`.
