"The lady went out to let the dog off the chain, but instead of the dog being on the chain, it was a large carpet python.

"It's only the second incident like this we've had in over 10 years. Usually it's the other way around, the snake comes off second best."

The python, which is believed to be about 50 years old, is under observation at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and may require surgery to remove the chain.

"The chain will stay in until the snake has digested it all. We have to let the food dissolve," he said.

"It's just a waiting game."
