A woman in Queensland, Australia, has spotted a six-foot-long snake on her bed. Zachery’s Snake and Reptile Relocation, whose help the woman sought, caught and relocated the highly venomous eastern brown snake far from human habitation.
“Check the bed carefully tonight! This eastern brown snake safely relocated! #snakecatcher #brownsnake #bedtime #boonah #kalbar #scenicrim,” the reptile relocation service wrote on Facebook while sharing chilling pictures of the snake lying against the white bedding.
This post uploaded on Monday soon got over 1,000 likes. A Facebook user commented, “My mum would be running out of the house and down the road maybe not come back until she know if it is safe”. Another user recalled, “Some years ago my grandaughter had been sitting at the head of her bed doing her homework on her computer when she realised the throw rug at the end of her bed was moving. She had one taking a nap there.”
Zachery Richards, of the reptile relocation service, told CBS News that the snake most likely had climbed inside the bedroom through the open window. “When I arrived, she (the resident) was waiting outside for me, and I went inside to the bedroom that the snake was in, and she had the door shut with a towel underneath, so it couldn’t get out. I pushed the door open, and it was lying in bed looking at me,” Richards said.
Pythons and other snakes are not rare in Australia, which is home to over 140 species of snakes. In November 2022, a woman from Buderim, a suburb near Australia’s Sunshine coast, spotted a pair of mating pythons behind her microwave oven and sought help from a professional reptile relocation service.
