Giant snake takes a break on kitchen counter after big meal
Watch Next

After a big meal, sometimes you just need a nap -- unless you're a nine foot snake.

The giant carpet python was found snoozing on a homeowner's kitchen counter after a huge meal in Australia, so naturally Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers Ross McGibbon and Richie Gilbert were called in to take the reptile to a more hospitable place outside.

McGibbon and Gilbert theorize that the snake has just eaten a possum or possibly the neighbor's cat. They were able to get the huge snake to a nice, comfy spot away from any microwaves.

Now we can go back to our lunches, nightmare-free.
