Placid python a stretch for police
Police were no match for a 5.7-metre python that made itself at home in a north Queensland charity shop, Yahoo News reports.
Officers were initially called after staff at the St Vincent de Paul store in Ingham thought there had been a break-in. Police were unable to wrangle the 17-kilogrammes reptile and were forced to call in local snake handler Virginia McGrath, who said the python was placid but it had created quite a mess.
“There was crockery scattered all over the place, smashed and a big doo-doo on the floor,” she said. “I said, ‘well, where is he’ and there he was, stretched all along the side wall.”
The snake was relocated to wetlands nearby. daily times monitor
