REAL LIFE

Poisonous snake found inside a sofa, that's how it got inside the house

An Australian family from Queensland faced a nasty misadventure in their home. 

The 'cause' of the unpleasant moments for this family was an eastern brown snake, considered the second most venomous snake in the world, which was found on the living room sofa. When the animal was discovered, it thought well to hide in the couch and stayed there until a professional team intervened.

Snake hunter Ozzie Lawrence of OzCapture Snake Relocations is also an expert in such situations and documented the whole thing on his social media.

The eastern brown snake
Widespread in Australia and Papua New Guinea, the eastern brown snake is considered the second most venomous snake in the world based on the hypodermic LD50 value measured in mice. This snake is responsible for the largest number of deaths in Australia mainly because it is found in the suburbs.

The spread of these snakes in Australia
On his own Facebook profile Ozzie Lawrence writes, "There are many areas within these types of living rooms where the snake could have been hiding, so I am thankful that I only had to move the furniture and not have to disassemble it." In short, an easy recovery, from what an expert such as himself has said....

How did the snake get into the house.
The snake would have managed to enter the house by climbing over a pile of lumber and then breaking in through a hole present in a mosquito net, as shown in the photo. It was really easy for him to get inside the dwelling therefore.
