It is indeed scary to look at the length of the snake. Wonder how the woman gathered the courage to deal with it on her own. Talking about the rescue she was quoted to The Daily Mail, "I managed to get it into the bin and put it outside with the lid on. It was so heavy, probably more than 20 kilograms. After that, I just went back to bed. It didn't worry me too much. I just needed it to be out of my room, so I could get some sleep."

Shoyer wasn't new to spotting snakes nearby but this was the first time she had such a close encounter. Pythons may not be poisonous but they are known to kill their prey by wrapping themselves around the body. The way she dealt with the snake is definitely courageous.
