VIDEO: Huge python found at supermarket petrol station

This is the moment a reptile expert was called in to catch a python – in a supermarket car park.

Elizabeth Murphy, 26, slithered into action after the creature was spotted near a branch of Waitrose.

The royal python was languishing in the petrol forecourt in Cheltenham., Glos before taking shelter in an alcove.

Elizabeth plans to “get him a nice, warm bath” and says she’ll “get him quarantined and feed him after 48 hours”.

Ms Murphy said: “I’ve got some mice in the freezer so I’ll get him fed.

“He is not venomous but black spots around his stomach are an infection.”
