Huge python keeps turning up at Queenslander’s home, beautiful friendship blossoms

A huge python has befriended a Queensland family after turning up at their place one day and, apparently, deciding to move in.

The big fella first dropped in a few months ago and kept popping back in to say hello.

As we read in a yarn from Jaydan Duck at My GC, Robbie Knills  got a bit of a fright the first time he saw the snake.

However, his feelings towards the reptile seem to have changed.

They’re pretty much mates now, and their story is something quite special.

“I first found the python sitting on top of the garage door,” Knills told ViralHog.

“I didn't have a remote so had to get on ladder and push the button.

“When I was up there I saw a snake body and followed it until I saw his head only two feet away from mine looking straight at me.

“I got a pretty big fright and jumped off the ladder.

“I had to open the garage door and he wouldn't move so I called the old man to come help move him.

“We had to pull him off the rafters and put him in a sack and drove him a few miles away and put him in the bush.”

But that didn’t keep him away.

We mean, wrestling the slithery fella in a sack and taking him out bush would send a pretty strong signal that he wasn’t wanted, but the python didn’t seem to take the not-at-all subtle hint.

“Three weeks later he had returned,” Knills  said.

“I felt that after that he must really like it in the shed so I decided to see how he goes as a flatmate.”

Yep, we smell an Aussie sitcom too.

“Six months later he was given the name Dirk Diggler and has grown quite a bit.

“[He] comes out and sits on rafters above me when I'm working in the shed and watches what I'm doing.

“Dirk has grown to about 9 feet [2.7m]  now when he is all stretched out and not flexing his muscles and should get to around 15 feet [4.6m].”

We wish them all the best.
