Massive python slithers out of ceiling inside family’s home

Two kids brushing their teeth in Australia got a sneaky surprise visit from a carpet python — which was slithering out of a light in their bathroom.

The children were greeted Monday evening by the 5-foot-long snake dangling out of a ceiling fixture at their Brisbane, Queensland, home, The Sun reported.

The family called a snake catcher, Bryce Lockett, to the home who said that the youngsters were horrified by the intruder.

“People are generally quite terrified of them but I’ve owned snakes my whole life so I’m not too fazed,” Lockett told The Sun.

Lockett, however, said it wasn’t common for the snake — known as a carpet python — to pop out of a lighting fixture.

“Carpet pythons are nocturnal and coldblooded, which is why this one must have slithered down to enjoy the heat of the lamp. They’re harmless but they don’t like to be disturbed,” he said.

Lockett later released the python, which is non-venomous and sometimes kept as pets, to a nearby creek.
