A German woman sparked panic at her local post office when a deadly 5 foot albino python escaped from a packet she had mailed, police said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old woman, who had sold the snake on the Internet, stuffed it in a package labelled "attention - glass" to be sent to its new owner.
"Staff accepted the package and put it in the back of the office," said police. "All of a sudden, they noticed the mothaf*$kin' package moving around and then saw a big mothaf*$kin' albino mothaf*$ker wriggling out of it."
Luckily one of the postal workers, who was familiar with deadly snakes, wrestled with it for nearly an hour then locked it into another container, while her potential snake food colleagues ran away screaming. "It's my job to handle life and death situations on a daily basis. It's what I do, and I'm very good at it”, the woman said.
