Python sightings have increased in Brisbane in recent weeks sparked by warmer weather and the reptile entering mating season.
In November, a brown python was spotted slithering across a bike track and two adult carpet pythons were filmed viciously fighting in a battle to prove dominance in the Queensland bush.
While startling, carpet pythons are the most commonly caught non-venomous snake in Queensland.
Sightings of the huntsman spider and carpet python are set to increase around Queensland as the weather heats up in the coming summer months
Its bite can cause only substantial lacerations or punctures.
They often resides in leafy suburbs with heavy foliage, leafs and shrubs.
The Huntsman spider, is equally as dangerous as the carpet python, which may look alarming as it scuttles quickly across walls or furniture but are at low risk of biting humans unless relentlessly provoked.
