'I have a boxing bag hanging up in the shed and this was day one of doing some exercise,' Miss Maguire told Daily Mail Australia.
'I only did 10 jabs when I saw the snake. Hitting the bag makes the shed vibrate which woke it up as it was very warm near the heated tin roof.

'My heart was beating so fast and I screamed and ran out straight to my phone to locate someone to remove it ASAP.'
Miss Maguire called the Australian Reptile Park to collect the snake.
The find came only months after Miss Maguire's beloved pet cat Mr Bubbles went missing.
She said her cat Mr Bubbles (pictured), which she had owned for eight years, never missed a meal and doesn't expect to ever see him again
She said her cat's disappearance and the snake sighting could be linked.
'He's not coming back.... he never missed a meal,' she said.
Video footage shows the snake catcher struggling to wrangle the reptile due to its size.
Eventually he is able to get the snake to the ground and move it to the lawn.
Miss Maguire said the snake was clearly agitated after being relocated and pleaded with the handler to make sure it didn't escape.
'He released it up at an old local quarry where it could feed on animals going to drink from it,' she said.
After bagging the snake the handler safely relocated the snake much to the relief of Miss Maguire who said he took the snake to a nearby quarry
