A rare Myanmar python snuck into a seventh-floor apartment in Quanzhou of Fujian Province on Monday and awakened the male dweller with three kisses on the face.

The 4-metre-long python awakened You and his wife at about 3 am. Judging by its appearance, You was relieved as he knew it was not poisonous. He boldly touched the python, which lay on the ground and seemed to enjoy his stroking.

About two hours later, police came and took the 30-kilogram python away. However, they were puzzled as to where the python was from, as it was worth at least 100,000 yuan (US$12,500) and is rarely seen even in zoos.
