"Disgusting": Snake Catcher Shares Surprising Discovery of Carpet Python in Shower, Netizens React

• The unexpected discovery inside a Noosa Heads home sparked a surge of interest after a local snake catcher shared details of his late-night rescue
• Warmer evenings and increased wildlife activity have led experts to warn residents about a rise in surprise encounters with pythons
• Social media users reacted with a mix of humour, fear, and fascination as the snake catcher’s calm response and educational insights gained widespread attention online

Residents of Noosa Heads in Australia received an unexpected fright after a local snake catcher revealed one of his latest calls, a carpet python casually relaxing inside a household shower.

The incident, shared on social media by the professional snake catcher Luke, has since sparked both fascination and mild panic among locals.

In his post uploaded on Facebook on November 27, 2025 where Luke described the surprising encounter with a touch of humour and calm expertise, saying:

"Carpet python in the shower! This Carpet python had made its way into the shower in a home in Noosa Heads the other night. The night calls are becoming very regular again now that the boys are out getting something to eat."

According to Luke, warmer evenings and increased movement of prey are likely contributing to the rise in after-hours snake activity. Carpet pythons, which are non-venomous and commonly found in Australian homes during hotter months, often seek shelter in cool, hidden spots, including bathrooms.

The homeowners were reportedly startled to find the sizeable reptile curled comfortably inside their shower, prompting an immediate call to the snake-catching expert. Luke safely removed the python before releasing it back into the appropriate bushland.

What stood out most to social media users was the python’s choice of location. Comments ranged from amusement to alarm, with many admitting they would never step into their shower the same way again. Others praised Luke, who goes by the Facebook handle Snake Catcher Noosa 24/7 Luke the Snake Catcher, for his calm and professional approach, noting that his updates provided valuable education about coexistence with wildlife.
