Check Out The Size Of This Snake!!!

While there's been no shortage of snake sightings recently, particular in Queensland's north, some encounters leave a longer impression than the rest.

One stunned family were in a state of shock after a monstrous, metres-long carpet python was spotted "doing parkour" in their very own Queensland backyard, gliding briskly through the treetops, well above the ground.

In the video, the family are seen standing back to witness the hefty animal make its way from their rooftop, to a tree, before slithering again into another. The snake rears its head from the leaves in between movements, giving a glimpse at just how large the animal is.
