The python, weighing 37 lbs, was recovered by a snake-handler after police investigated a suspected break-in at the shop in Ingham, Queensland.
“Its head was the size of a small dog,” said police spokesman Sgt. Don Auld.
The snake fell through a ceiling panel, smashing shop goods. Police said it may have got in through the roof, which was damaged by Cyclone Yasi in 2011.
When police were initially called to the property on Monday, they believed a person had fallen through the ceiling because the roof panel had been cut in half.
Crockery, clothes and other goods were scattered all over the floor.
Police were called back to the shop the following day when a large crowd formed outside.
Sgt. Don Auld said the snake must have been hiding when police went there the first time.
It has been released in nearby wetlands.
