A FRIGHTENED woman was held prisoner in her NSW home for six days by a large deadly red-bellied black snake.
Disabled pensioner Meredith Schetrumpf, of Budgewoi, on the Central Coast, claims she phoned numerous organisations for help but without success.
"For six days I was a prisoner in my house,"she told the Central Coast Express Advocate newspaper.
Ms Schetrumpf, who receives a disability pension, lives alone with her pet dog, Jack, said she looked out her window to see a 2m king red-bellied black snake curled up at the gate on the path outside her front door on March 18.
Terrified it might enter her house she phoned police, her local MP and Wyong Council who gave her several numbers to call for help.
However, the numbers were either disconnected or didn’t answer.
One organisation that did answer the phone was WIRES which said they would only come out if the snake was injured.
