The resident contacted Snake Catchers Brisbane and Gold Coast to relocate the Coastal Carpet Python.
The large reptile, normally found in south-east Queensland, is not venomous but has been known to pack a nasty bite.
It generally eats mammals like rodents and possums, but is known to prey on pets like caged birds, cats, dogs guinea pigs or chickens.
This one was relocated by snake catcher Brandon in nearby Karana Downs.
