That was just one piece of advice friends offered a far north Queensland woman who found a "f---ing huge" python wrapped around her guest room on Monday morning.
The reportedly 5m, 40-kilogram monster, nicknamed Monty, had somehow managed to wind its way along the walls of Trina Hibberd's home in Mission Beach, south of Cairns.

Video posted to Facebook showed the immense reptile stretching around a corner, over a painting and on a hatstand in the corner of another room.
"We've got a visitor and it's f---ing huge," Ms Hibberd says in the video apparently taken about 4.30am Monday.
"I mean it's very big. It's come in. it goes all the way down over the hat stand.
"It is massive, oh God."
"We knew the snake was there but I had never seen it inside, not that I know of," she said.
"I've never seen it in its full length."
Snake catcher David Goodwin told the broadcaster it was the second biggest snake he'd ever seen but refused to speak to Fairfax Media, saying he'd "had enough of reporters".
"We walked into the bedroom and it was hanging from the curtain drapes down to the bedside table - and that was only a third of him," he said.
"It was a good monster."
Here's a short list of other advice Ms Hibberd's friends gave her in dealing with the snake:
"OMG OMG."
"Hell no! Bugger that."
"Trina ..... HOW did this happen get out of there woman!!!"
"Omg I would have a heart attack if I saw that."
"Jesus Trin - call the snake-catcher guy - NOW!!!"
