“On a scale of no worries to HELL NO, which would you be in this sssscenario?” says a post shared by Queensland Police Service on Facebook. By ‘this scenario’ they mean if you were in the place of this woman in Australia who had a python wrapped around her leg. Are you shuddering just by reading this? Wait till you watch the video.
The clip shows a cop helping to uncoil the python from the woman’s leg. What’s interesting is how calm they both were during the situation.
According to 7NEWS, the Queensland resident noticed her cat had cornered a wild carpet python. Since the woman is a snake owner herself, she set out to rescue the reptile. However, the python panicked and wrapped itself around her leg. Unable to uncoil the huge snake herself, she was forced to call emergency services.
In the video, captured on a cop’s bodycam, you hear one of the officer’s saying, “You’re in a bit of a pickle!”
The two then proceed to remove the snake from her leg. “If I had a friend over or someone, I, we, could’ve sorted it,” the woman says in the video.
Eventually, once they manage to remove the snake off her leg, she proceeds to carry it to some bushes close by and sets it free.
