a massive python named 'Mr Sniffles' faces off with terrified pet cat through glass

A massive python has been caught trying to slither through a sliding door while being carefully watched by a terrified pet cat.

The video was filmed from inside a home in Indooroopilly, Brisbane.

The snake - nicknamed 'Mr Sniffles' - was seen lifting its head as it tried to get through the door while the scared cat moved away in footage shared to Reddit by the pet's owner.
He said he came home and let his cat out for food before he heard the snake hissing and scrambled to get his pet inside.

The video attracted more than one hundred comments from terrified Brisbane residents who wanted to know where exactly the footage was captured so they could avoid the area.
Personally I wouldn't be leaving that glass door open (and relying on the screen door) anytime soon, and I'd be checking all the windows seal properly,' one person wrote.

A Brisbane snake catcher told Daily Mail Australia the serpent was a common carpet python and was 'very common' in south-east Queensland during the summer rains.

Snake Out Brisbane owner Janne Torkkola said summer is 'pretty constant' for them, with about 50 callouts each month during the warmer weather.
