It shows a man carefully taking the creature from a shelf where it was snuggled next to handbags for sale.
"Casually thrift shopping with Mum in Capalaba, next thing we know a lady is screaming and running away from the handbag section," the poster wrote.
"Turns out a cute little carpet python had made its way into the store... most likely inside dropped off goods!
"Appeared to be exceptionally friendly which had me immediately believing this is a pet, does anybody know of someone who has misplaced their beloved python recently?"

The shop is searching for the owner of the carpet python.
