A huge snake that has lived in the roof of an Australian home for 10 years has tried to upgrade to the master bedroom.
Trina Hibberd, from Mission Beach in Queensland, woke on Monday to find the 5.2m scrub python named Monty stretched from her lounge room to her bedroom.
Monty managed to turn on a light and knock over a lamp before snake-catcher Dave Goodwin arrived.

16 deg here in my area of Qld today.
I have no pythons in my ceiling now but when we lived in Northern NSW, there was one regular visitor between the camphor laurel tree and the roof. It was about 3 metres long, we were in midst of getting new lighting installed in a sunroom and there was a gap in the plasterboard ceiling, it made it's way down to the wall unit below and curled up there, sleeping.
My OH got a fence paling and encouraged the visitor to curl around it 
while my daughter and I held a tarp for him to drop it in.
Needless to say, it was way too smart and too heavy anyway, so he had to carry it out on the paling! We sold the house some years leater and the new owners had it relocated after finding it asleep in their bird cage.

no, all parrots present and alive, perhaps he was saving them for later.
