Australia: Woman Wakes Up with 2.5-Meter Python on Her Chest – How She Got Free

A woman in Brisbane, Australia, had a particularly frightening, but harmless, experience when she woke up and found a 2.5-meter python curled up on her chest. Rachel Bloor initially thought she was petting her dog, but soon realized it was a snake. Calmly, she and her partner managed to remove the python, which had entered their home through the blinds. The python was non-venomous and did not cause any injuries. Bloor, having grown up in an area with snakes, remained calm and led the snake towards the exit. The incident ended with laughter and a recognition of the importance of staying calm in such situations.
