SHOCKING footage has emerged showing the terrifying moment a pair of
snakes do battle in a woman’s shower after falling through her skylight.
The
terrifying clip shows two huge pythons twisting and turning with their
tails completely tangled together as they wrestle on the bathroom floor.
Mum-of-one Petrina Murphy, 41, filmed the hellish scene after the
animals came crashing through the skylight at her home in Byfield,
Queensland, Australia.
The PR worker said: "I saw them tangled
around each other through the skylight so I got the broom and used the
handle to get them to fall out into the shower.
"They had really wrapped themselves around each other and their tails were all knotted up.
"Some people who've seen the video have asked if they're mating but they're definitely two males fighting.
"Even though they were fighting, I knew they weren't going to attack me.
"They were more focused on each other and pythons are actually usually pretty docile unless you annoy them."
She
continued: "After they fell through, I closed all the doors so they
were just sliding around in the bathroom and then I used the broom to
sweep them outside.
"They didn't seem that bothered when I was
sweeping them out. One took off pretty quickly but the other one kept
trying to head in the direction of the bins so I was talking to it. I
must sound mad.
"I know a lot of people would have made a run for it just at the sight of them.
"For
people with a phobia it would be like something out of a nightmare but
I've never been particularly scared of snakes and we're pretty used to
them out here."
Petrina added: "I would much rather get rid of
them myself and know they're gone than have to deal with worrying about
them finding their own way into the house.
"Waking up with one
wrapped around my arm or them deciding to join Callum and I when we're
watching TV, now that would be a shock.
"I'm just glad the shower was clean so I was able to get some photos and video without it being embarrassing."
Petrina
said the snakes have been slithering around on her roof throughout
Australia's winter months with the mum and her son Callum, 16, regularly
hearing them moving around.
And she revealed she has had to deal with their urine dripping through the ceiling.
Petrina
said: "We've known there was a snake living on the roof for about four
months. We've heard it sliding around up there and thumping over the
rafters.
"Seeing two was a bit of a surprise but we live near a national park so snakes are something you get used to.
"The
most annoying thing about having them up there was when they peed.
Something would drip through the ceiling and you'd think it was water.
Realising it was snake pee made me cranky.
"We haven't had any
rain here for about three months so the snakes come looking for where we
keep our water. They just want a drink.
"A lot of people would
have seen them and just had to get in their car and drive away but I'm
alright with snakes and spiders – even the huge ones. It's ticks that
freak me out.
"If I find a tick on me I'm terrified but if a snake's in my bathroom that's no problem."
