A huge python has given a family a massive shock after it appeared from the bonnet of their car in the middle of the night.
Nerida Bedwell was driving her ten-year-old daughter and 15-year-old niece on the Kennedy Highway north of Cairns when the snake popped out.
Ms Bedwell said they began to panic after seeing the reptile but couldn t stop on the narrow winding road.
The scrub python was estimated to be two metres long once it was removed from the bonnet We were all very freaked out, she told the Cairns Post. My older niece in the (front seat) jumped in the back of the car.
