Postal workers at a South African post office took to their heels when a poisonous python snake came slithering out of a mail bag on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

The one yard snake was one of four snakes sent this week in an express parcel that arrived at the Sabie Post Office, located 185 miles of Johannesburg, the Reuters said.
The python came out of the bag when workers were emptying bags in the sorting room, post office officials have said.
The reptiles were removed by nearby Park officials. The receiver and the sender both had been charged for illegally transporting animals.
Last week Scottish airport workers discovered a stowaway reptile in a flight which arrived from Mexico. The snake was found inside the passenger’s cabin.
