Mummy is 6.4m - 21 feet on the old scale - and is thought to be one of the largest pythons in Australia. Mr Chapman said the Australian Venom Zoo at Kuranda would send four men to attempt to capture Mummy after the 5.5m male snake lifted his colleague clean off the ground. "We grabbed one and it swung around and lifted Isaac, my larger colleague, off the ground," he said. The men had to crawl through a one-metre space between roof and ceiling to locate the snakes. Mr Chapman said the non-venomous Mummy was capable of crushing and swallowing an adult.
