It's not too uncommon to come across a creepy crawly at home from time to time, often causing a few screams and some chaos. But when the unwelcome guest is huge, we'd definitely be running screaming for the exit!

That was the experience of a Queensland woman whose intrusion story has gone viral with over 300,000 views.

The woman, who lives on the Sunshine Coast, captured the moment a massive two-metre carpet python slithered out from under her sofa and began making its way around her home.

'That is f**king huge,' the Sunshine Coast resident said in a video posted on social media.

Luckily, the reptile decided to make its own way out by sliding through the glass door onto the back patio. Understandably relieved, the woman shut the door tight behind it as her friend offered up some sensible advice.

'Is there anywhere else out there it can come in? You need to call snake catcher straight away.'

She called the professionals for the job, the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7.

Once Dan from the snake-catching service arrived on the scene, the carpet python had already made its way into the garden and was ready to be released back into the wild, which it did at record speed.

'They are probably one of the more common snakes you'll get around here,' Dan said. 'They can grow to just about three metres or over. And they are beautiful.'

The video of the event has certainly been garnering interest from social media users. Most people seemed terrified by the story, with comments like, 'If I see this fellow in my house, I'm packing up and leaving,' and 'He can have my house.'

‘How do they get inside? I’ve never understood that!’ one person asked.

Another wrote, ‘Looked a lot longer than 2 metres! Beautiful...at a distance!’

If you see this animal around, it's important to remember that the carpet python isn't venomous. However, it has rows of sharp teeth which can certainly cause injury through lacerations and punctures.

A rattle? Seriously ? Midleading! Australian snakes do not rattle. Venomous snakes ARE capable of flattening themselves to enter smaller spaces.
Keep doors, windows etc tightly closed and sealed . Eek!

She shoulda called Australia Zoo and got their rescue unit to come get it.

A snake would have to be an intrepid adventurer to get into our front or back door.
It would have had to run away from home because we are nowhere near bush, or abundant foliage.
The closest I have come to a wildlife encounter at home was a Frogmouth Owl landing on my window ledge, and staring at me for 10 minutes. It was gorgeous.

It is just a harmless snake. They actually do good for us by eating rodents.

My sister who lives in a shed had a part ceiling over the area where her bed and lounge/tv are. Last year she had a diamond python coming in through gaps in the tin roof and spending nights in that area of ceiling. Part of it was open and one night the python fell down to the floor and slithered under her bed. After a few hours sitting on the lounge with her feet up and no sign of the snake she went to bed, hoping she didn’t wake up with the snake next to her. She didn’t and couldn’t find the snake but that night it was back in the ceiling. She got a snake catcher to come but he couldn’t find it, our brother looked and couldn’t find it. Our brother filled in all the gaps in the edge around outside of roof and blocked the open area of ceiling. Luckily the snake must have been outside as it didn’t die in the roof. She sees lots of pythons as well as black and brown snakes around the shed still, it is in a bushy area of a cattle property. When she first moved there one of her dogs was bitten and died after the dogs disturbed a nest of black snakes on the shed patio area. The owners relocated the snakes. Our brother closed in the area and snake proofed it for her. The shed had been built and used as a home years ago but had been empty for over ten years before she moved in. She was bitten by a black snake as a three year old at the dairy on our farm and got rushed to hospital, so she is absolutely terrified of snakes as she remembers the pain and trauma of being bitten. I can’t imagine how she lives there with the amount of snakes around but she says it is better than being homeless. She is just extra careful all the time.

Totally harmless, can bite if cornered but non venomous,
