A 26-YEAR-old Deception Bay woman was flown to a Brisbane hospital today after being bitten by a snake on Moreton Island.

Energex Community Rescue Helicopter spokesman Colin Brown said the woman was coming out of the bathroom of her holiday accommodation about 1.45pm when a 1.8m carpet python latched on to her left leg just above her ankle.

"Its fangs went into her leg and it then wrapped itself around her," he said.

"A man had to kill the snake to get it off her because of the fangs in her leg and it was that tightly wrapped around her as well.

Mr Brown said the woman was attacked in Cowan Cowan, on the western side of the island, just north of the Tangalooma Resort.

She was airlifted by the Energex Community Rescue Helicopter and taken to Redcliffe Hospital in a stable condition.

If you see a snake in the bathroom, you run and move house actually. i bought some nice bathroom furniture recently and tiled walls and floors which looks great.

How can a snake in her bathroom? I just don't understand ... Very scary, when someone enjoying the water ... suddenly a snake biting her leg. Is there a tool to prevent the snake into your house? I've never experienced anything like this, hopefully never will. Thanks for sharing it.
