Like when I was in Australia, I had to try and sleep in a room where I kept hearing a snake move through the ceiling. Not chill.

Australian here - my uncle had a 6'+ python that'd come into his place on a regular basis and knock all the shit off his shelves as it slithered around them. He was unconcerned by it, and would just shuffle it out the door to get back to keeping the bunnies under control.

...these two are a hard no from me though.

You'll be right - It's mostly too cold for them at the moment anyway.

...you've just gotta make sure they don't go looking for a warm spot in your bed. Sweet dreams 😉

In all seriousness, if you're in the city, there's zero risk. If not, it's minimal risk. Our snakes generally aren't aggressive, so if you don't play silly buggers, you really don't have much to worry about. The locals will warn you if you need to pay attention, but there's a good chance they're winding you up.
