## _A woman got the shock of her life when she found a five-metre python draped across a�bed in a bedroom in her�house in Queensland._

Trina Hibberd, from Mission Beach in Queensland,�posted the [shocking photo](https://www.facebook.com/trina.hibberd/posts/10153844003850787)

She wrote a caption along with the photo: “This is my guest room!”

Ms Hibberd said that the snake had lived in the roof of her house for years and 
has finally made his presence known by draping himself across the bed in her guest
room, covering her paintings and hat stand, which she [captured on video](https://www.facebook.com/trina.hibberd/videos/vb.758245786/10153844002120787/?type=2&theater).

The python which she called Monty, is�a 5.2m long�scrub python and weighs 40kg. 
He was stretched all the way from Ms Hibberd’s lounge room to the guest room. Ms
Hibberd said that the python�managed to turn off a light and knock over a lamp before
a snake-catcher arrived to handle�the situation.

Dave Goodwin, the snake-catcher,�was able�to get the snake to wrap itself around
his arm, then put it inside a home-brewing jug to remove it from the house.�He�[told the BBC](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-36573623)
�that�the snake was “choking his arm to death” before he managed to get it to get
�into the jug.

Ms Hibbers said this isn’t the first time Monty Python had visited�her. She said
she took her first photo of him in 2012.�”He used to slither down into the pool 
area for a feed & a drink then slither back up just before sunrise unless he had
a tummy full of food & got stuck,” she wrote on Facebook.

“Am pretty happy that he’s gone. Snake catcher said he was a kangaroo killer!” Ms
Hibberd said.

The snake has now been moved to a sewage pond in order to deal with a rat problem.
