TWO FIGHTING PYTHONS FALL THROUGH KITCHEN CEILING

A man in Brisbane, Australia, returned home to find two huge snakes had fallen through his kitchen ceiling on Monday. They were carpet pythons, according to snake catcher Steven Brown – one was 9.5 feet long, the other 8 feet long. Carpet pythons are non-venomous and not aggressive if left alone. When Brown arrived, he found one of the snakes next to the front door and the other in a bedroom. He said that it’s breeding season for the snakes and it was likely the two males were fighting over a nearby female, who could have been in the roof or somewhere around the house, and it’s common to find the snakes in warm, dry roof cavities in the cooler winter months.

* In America, homebuyers check for termites. In Australia, it’s a little more involved.
* On the bright side, no mouse problem.
* In Australia, the proper response to finding pythons in your house is to fire up the grill.
