I was looking up news items on FB since I don't have cable or local TV to bring some in. On one of our stations, they did an article how a woman in an Australian supermarket, was in the spice isle and a snake poked it's head out within eight inches of her face.
Ironically, the woman is a trained snake catcher and ran back to her home to get her snake bag to catch the huge non-venomous python. She released the snake into the woods. She thinks it was a male looking for a mate.

A branch of my company is near the woods. In fact the canteen was facing a cemetery while the front area is facing the woods. They're not even on the main road. So there was an accident where a snake decided to nap on a chair at the canteen. I was visiting at the time so I heard of the accident.

Good thing it wasn’t venomous but how perfect a snake catcher was the one to find the snake!
