As a seasoned snake catcher, Dan Marshall isn’t any stranger to Australia’s ample snake inhabitants.
But a recent name from a shopper was new for him: an jap brown snake on a roof.
“Catch the second most venomous land snake on earth, on a roof….check,” Marshall stated in a Jan. 17 Facebook publish. “Definitely a first for me, no idea how this unit of an eastern brown got up there.”
A video exhibits Marshall atop the roof, wrangling the energetic reptile because it squirms and tries to flee his grasp. He then locations the animal in a black bag.
Marshall stated it was unclear how the snake ended up on the roof, however his buyer advised him “the rodent noise in his roof space had gone awfully quiet in the last week.”
The creature was captured in Cockatoo Valley, which is in southern South Australia.
Eastern brown snakes, also referred to as frequent brown snakes, are “widely seen as dangerous pests,” in line with specialists on the Australian Museum. The brown snakes are “medium sized,” they usually prefer to dwell in “open landscapes” like woodlands and grasslands.
The reptiles are repeatedly present in areas densely populated by people, and as “an alert, nervous species, they often react defensively … putting on a fierce display and striking with little hesitation,” specialists stated.
Though they’ve small fangs and a small chew, the snake’s venom is extremely potent and might trigger “progressive paralysis and uncontrollable bleeding.”
