Man Wakes Up With Hangover To Find His Friend About To Be Attacked By A 10ft Python He Bought The Night Before

A hungover father woke from a heavy drinking session to find a 10ft python which he had drunkenly bought from a gypsy the previous evening trying to eat his friend.

Dwayne Matthews, 29, found the huge snake 'rearing up with its jaws open' ready to pounce on his friend who was asleep on the sofa.

Matthews had bought the 14kg beast, called Bruce, the night before from a traveller with the intention of selling it on to fund his new guttering business.

After waking to find the python rearing up in an S-shape, panicking Matthews managed to throw a blanket over the snake before bundling it into a glass cage.

The next day he tried to flog the giant African rock snake to a local reptile shop who called police when they became suspicious.

Matthews was handed an eight week prison sentence suspended for two years when he admitted receiving stolen goods at Coventry Magistrates Court last Friday.

The court heard the python had been stolen along with eight others from an out-house in Hillfields, Coventry, Uk.
