She went to a supermarket to buy food but lived the fear of her life.

“He looks straight into my eyes,” says the snake.

“He looked me in the eyes as if to implore, ‘Can you please take me out?’” Helaina admitted it.

The young woman filmed the snake and quickly alerted store employees, who said they would be able to assist her if she went home and got a special snake bag. She went back to the store after that.

Helaina released the snake in the vegetation zone surrounding Sydney’s metropolitan, away from populated areas.

The 26-year-old had been trained to rescue reptiles, which was fortunate for everyone. Her friends jokingly refer to her as “the snake girl,” a reference to a scene from the Harry Potter films.
