The company Meritor in Lindesberg received an unexpected visit this week when a python tumbled down from a box delivered from Australia. The approximately one meter long red python was alive but in poor condition, according to the newspaper Kollega.
– It was exhausted when it arrived after being on a boat from Australia, without food and water for four, five weeks, says Magnus Karlsson, chairman of the Unionenklubben at the factory to the newspaper.
The company is used to bringing in spiders and beetles with its deliveries from all corners of the world, but the snake is the biggest animal so far, he adds.
The species is not poisonous. The snake was taken to the Skansenakvariet in Stockholm, but did not survive.
