Ha, caught 'red handed'!
I had a dozen laying hens at the old house and there were several large (150cm+) Black Rat Snakes living around the house that would keep the mice under control, but occasionally raid a nest. They would eat a half-dozen eggs and then just lie in the nest box like your python. When picked up to remove, I had to carry them head upwards so the eggs would not leak out. I'd move them a few hundred meters and they would be back in a week or two. We didn't mind them around, but the wife didn't like reaching into the relatively dark boxes to find a snake instead of an egg.
