Python willingly slithers into snake catcher's bag

Sept. 7 (UPI) -- An Australian snake catcher responded to the deck of a Queensland home to capture a python that ended up willingly slithering into his bag.

The video, recorded Wednesday, shows the snake catcher using a pole to lift the male python after the female it was earlier seen mating with apparently left the area of the home in Doonan.

The snake catcher holds the python near his bag, and the snake willingly slithers inside of it.

"That is textbook," the snake catcher laughs.

"I was called out to a property in Doonan, Queensland, Australia to catch and relocate this nine-foot Carpet python. But in the end, he caught himself!" the man wrote.
