When one embarks on a bleary-eyed, early morning commute it's safe to assume one doesn't factor on meeting a metre-long jungle carpet python called 'Bread'.
But that was exactly what passengers travelling on a Central Coast train experienced in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Passengers told police that a 20-year-old man took a python - dubbed 'Bread'- out of his backpack and showed it off to his fellow travellers.
Several passengers became concerned for the animal's safety and promptly called officials when the man revealed he lacked a permit for the snake.
