This is the terrifying moment a man discovered two huge pythons wrestling over a mate in his kitchen.
The footage, taken in a rural suburb of Brisbane, shows the reptiles entwined with each other as they slither across the tiled floor.
The homeowner said he allows one of the pythons to live in the ceiling above his bedroom for pest control, so was not surprised to stumble upon the scene.

He told Newsflare: ‘I’ve been aware of one of these snakes living in the ceiling above my bedroom during the warmer seasons.
‘That is no concern to me as these pythons are harmless and helpful for pest control, and to help keep away the deadly snakes that we’ve seen on the property.’
Describing the moment he stumbled upon the snake fight, he added: ‘On Sunday, I saw the tail of a large snake inside the kitchen as I returned from my shed.
‘The snake quickly went under a table and out of my sight. When I moved around to see where it was going, it’d already started wrapping itself around the other snake to start the battle.
‘I can safely assume that there was a female python nearby they were fighting over.’
