While out shopping down under, a customer made a terrifying discovery in their local supermarket.
A three-metre long snake surprised shoppers in Australia after poking out from one of the shelves.
The python was thankfully non-venomous and was spotted in the spices section of a Woolworths store in Sydney on Monday.
The company says it was a "slippery and rare customer" and the snake was later removed and released into nearby bushland.
