Watch a Couple Band Together to Expel a 90-LB Python That Invaded Their Laundry Room

If you think you have a problem with laundry, wait until you see what this couple had to deal with. In a viral video, a woman stands outside her home and pulls on a thick rope that seems stuck in her laundry room. But this is no ordinary rope – it’s actually a massive python that decided to make itself comfortable in their laundry room!

Check Out the Video of the Python in the Laundry Room Below!

The video, which comes from Australia, shows the woman as she struggles to drag the snake out of the room while her husband tries to help her. The python, which weighs about 90 pounds and measures over 10 feet long, puts up a fight and tries to escape. The woman manages to pull the snake out of the house, into the garage, and then onto the driveway, where she finally gets some assistance from her husband.

The couple then work together to get the snake’s head into a sack without being bitten. Pythons are nonvenomous, but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt to get bitten still! They can strike extremely fast, so staying away from the danger zone in the front is important while the couple works together.

After several tense and hilarious moments, the couple manages to get the entire snake into the sack and remove it from their property. We aren’t sure what happens after the video, but it looks like they were able to secure the snake it have it ready for release somewhere that it wouldn’t cause problems. Laundry rooms are great, but not for a snake to live!

Why Do Snakes End Up In Houses?

Snakes often end up in houses, not because they are looking for tasty humans, but because they are simply looking for warm, dry places to rest, just like humans! If a snake can find a safe place to hide, it doesn’t really consider that a human might occupy the area; it just thinks that it found the jackpot.

Also, some snakes will follow their prey into certain locations, and if your home has a lot of a snake’s favorite prey in or around it, it’s very possible that a snake could end up in your home. For example, if your house has mice, a rat snake could very easily end up lurking around simply because it’s where its food lives.

How Large Are Adult Pythons?

Pythons are one of the largest species of snakes, with the reticulated python taking the lead as perhaps the largest of the over 40 species of constrictors. These pythons can range in size from 23 to 33 feet and weigh 170 pounds. The largest python on record belongs to the reticulated python, a serpent that grew to 33 feet long. Most species of pythons range from 10 to 33 feet, with a few exceptions. The anthill python is the smallest, with lengths that range from 24 to 30 inches.
