Sydney, August 18: A woman in Sydney in Australia spotted a three-meter python while she was shopping in a supermarket. The woman found the giant reptile in the herb and spice section of her local store. In a video that was shared on Facebook, the python can be seen poking out from the shelf. As the reptile slithered through the aisle, bottles of condiments and spices came tumbling down. The woman, Helaina Alati was quoted by 7NEWS.com.au saying that she was looking around in the shelves at the Woolies in Glenorie in Sydney when she made the surprising discovery of the python there.
