‘I walked out and my daughter walked in. She came out screaming,’ the mother said.
During the short clip, the snake catcher pulled down the basket of toilet roll as the snake slowly woke up.
‘Look there’s the tail, it looks like a decent size and it’s actually in with all the toilet paper,’ Mr McKenzie said.
The seasoned snake catcher grabbed the reptile with a hook before gently placing the three metre python into a bag.
‘It’s lucky you spotted him, imagine you’re doing the washing and he strikes at your face,’ Mr McKenzie told the family.
The snake was safely removed and later released into nearby bushland.
