A Huge wild python was caught climbing up a family's wall.

The creature was discovered when it hit a bucket on the stairs, which fell in Samut Sakhon province, Thailand on February 21.

Residents were scared that a thief had invaded their home but upon turning on the lights by the hallway outside the bedroom, they spotted the creature clambering on the railings.

Footage shows the serpent slowly scaling the room partition like it was a tree in the jungle. A wildlife rescuer later arrived and caught the snake using a stick.

House owner Jirayu Phawan said: ‘There was a loud noise from outside my room. We thought someone had entered our house.

‘I was so shocked when it turned out to be a snake. I called for help even if it was already 1 am. I don't know where it came from.'

The snake was unhurt, returned to the rescuer's office, and released into the wild the next day.
