In Brisbane, Australia, Rachel Bloor woke up Monday night to a surprising weight on her chest. Half asleep, she reached for her dog but felt a smooth, slithering creature instead. Her partner quickly turned on the light and found a 2.5-meter carpet python on her. "He goes, 'Oh baby. Don't move. There's like a 2.5m python on you,'" Bloor told the BBC. She immediately told her husband to get the dogs out of the room, fearing they would panic. After securing the dogs, Bloor carefully slid out from under the covers, thinking, "Is this really happening? This is so bizarre." Bloor believes the snake entered through the window shutters. It had squeezed onto the bed and curled on her. The python is non-venomous and common in coastal Australia. "It was that big that even though it had been curled up on me, part of its tail was still out the shutter," she said. She gently grabbed the python and fed it back through the window. Despite its size, the snake was calm. Bloor, who grew up around snakes, stayed relaxed. "I think if you're calm, they're calm," she said. Her husband was shocked, but all animals and people were safe. Bloor joked she would have been more scared if it was a cane toad, one of Australia's ugly, harmful pests. Carpet pythons eat small mammals and birds and are constrictors, not venomous threats.
