Python found in toilets in Sydney Airport

A green tree python was found in a women's toilet in Sydney airport, abandoned by a smuggler who chickened out in the arrivals area. Overseas guests have enough of a problem with our wildlife without coming face to face with it in the toilets before they've even left the airport. The thing is, I don't know why this person even bothered to smuggle it into the country given that these snakes are very common in any bush or parkland area. (Note to potential guests to Australia: they are harmless snakes and very shy - nothing to worry about!)
