Python Peeps Out Of Spice Shelf At Sydney Supermarket, Shocks Customers

The python that was later rescued was estimated to be three meters long. 

For most people, grocery runs are a means to relax and spend some time alone doing mundane tasks. However, things went slightly differently for a bunch of shoppers in Sydney on Monday when a rather unexpected guest turned up in a supermarket. A three-metre python was spotted poking around the spice rack as unwitting customers were browsing the shelves. In a video that was shared on Facebook, the reptile can be seen sticking out of the spice shelf, sending bottles of condiments and spices tumbling around. The video was shared by a user named Hilary Leigh and is viral since. The caption of the video said, “Crikee, only in Australia! Local Glenorie Woolworths had a lockdown offender today. No QR check-in and no mask. Luckily, there was a lovely person who was very familiar with this type of species and safely looked after the good looking culprit. Phew. A good outcome.” The post refers to a woman named Helaina Alati who came face-to-face with the non-venomous snake as it slithered out.
