When Brisbane resident Rachel Bloor woke up to discover a carpet python curled up on top of her, she was rattled.
The two-and-a-half-metre snake crawled onto her bed late on Monday evening.
When Ms Bloor felt something heavy on her stomach and chest, she initially thought it was her labradoodle.
But when she put her arm on top of the covers, she felt something move in her hands.
Ms Bloor quickly woke her husband and told him to turn the lights on.
She said he told her, "Babe, don't move. There's about a two-and-a-half metre carpet python on top of you".
That's when the panic set in.
"I was worried about the dogs," Ms Bloor said.
Her husband quickly took the two dogs out of the bedroom.
"It was me [who] was left in there to deal with it," Ms Bloor said.
From the other room, her husband told her she would need to crawl out from under the covers.
"So, I sort of side shuffled out," Ms Bloor said.
Once out of her bed, she guided the snake out the window.
She suspects it slithered up to the second storey of her house, climbed through the window, pushed the plantation shutter open, and "then curled up on top" of her.
Ms Bloor, who grew up on an acreage, said she wasn't scared of the snake and was just glad it wasn't a toad.
"Toads freak me out," she said.
