| Injuries: Mrs Guthrie with her daughter Zara, who was bitten three times in the hand as her mother tried to prise the snake away from her child. She was treated at hospital but the python’s bites were not venomous |
An Australian woman was awoken by her hissing cat early Sunday to find a python wrapped around the arm of her 2-year-old daughter. Tess Guthrie, a 22-year-old from Lismore, New South Wales, said the 6-foot pytho was wrapped three times around her daughter’s arm. “I thought I was having a nightmare,” Guthrie told a local television news station. “It was only because the cat was hissing that I woke up and saw the snake with its body wrapped around my daughter Zara’s arm.”
