Can you spot the two-metre snake hiding in this sewing room?

Your sewing room isn’t exactly the first place you’d expect to find a snake. But with plenty of nooks and crannies in this one, it would be the perfect place for a snake to rest its scales.

A woman got a huge surprise yesterday when she found the two-metre coastal carpet python, calling reptile wrangling company Snake Catchers Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan & Gold Coast to her Sherwood home, southwest of Brisbane

In a post on the company’s Facebook page, the business said the snake “had made itself quite comfortable here in a sewing room of a Sherwood home. If it weren't for the few displaced items, the homeowner wouldn't have noticed it.”

A photo of the room, with the snake hiding, was posted on Facebook by the company which started a game of what we’re calling “Where’s Snakey?”

As the Daily Mail reports, snake catcher Jasmine Zeleny said that coastal carpet pythons can grow to a length of up to three metres and were often caught in Brisbane.

“They’re a non-venomous species, and they do very well in an urban environment,” she said.

New York City mocked for only just discovering wheelie bins
