A deadly snake appears to have travelled unnoticed in a car for hours, giving the driver a scary shock.
David Voss from Gladstone Region Snake Catchers shared pictures of the deadly eastern brown snake inside a car on Facebook this week, saying it was a “one in a million” find.
“It was an absolute fluke,” Mr Voss told news.com.au, explaining he was getting dinner when his phone rang regarding the snake. Mr Voss said he expected the “brown snake” the driver had reported to be a spotted python, as they are common in the area and come out at night time, but was shocked to find a five-foot-long eastern brown snake.“He’s very fortunate because eastern browns are very timid, a very nervous snake so they tend to react to very little .And it wasn’t an easy catch.
Mr Voss said he found scale damage on the snake’s tail and guessed it had initially been in the engine bay. “The thing out of the ordinary compared to the last few years is the size of the snakes we’re getting … bigger, healthier, fatter snakes,” he said.
