A homeowner in Australia found an unwelcome visitor while cleaning out his shed last weekend: a 6-and-a-half foot snake.
Snake-catcher Ross McGibbon was called to the job in Toowoomba, Queensland, on Feb. 20. He marveled at the size of the snake, which he discerned to be the dangerously venomous Eastern Brown species.
"Wow what an impressive animal, I had a grin on my face all day after that catch!" He reflected on Facebook.
Eastern Browns rank as the second most venomous snake in the world, according to the Australia Zoo. McGibbon said the homeowner did the right thing when he discovered the snake by shutting it in the shed and calling a professional.
