Eastern Brown Snake Caught Under Fridge And Would Have Laid Eggs
An Eastern brown snake, one of the venomous snakes in Australia, was found and about to lay eggs under a fridge in an Adelaide household. The snake species is considered to be aggressive, and it is the second most venomous snake in the world.
Snake Catchers Adelaide uploaded a video of a common brown snake captured in one of the residences in Moana. The snake was looking for a moist place to lay her eggs and was smart enough to pick the fridge.
After moving the fridge to have a better manner of capturing the animal, the snake catcher grabbed the reptile by the tail and placed it in a sack. The resident and the snake catcher both noticed that the snake is big compared to what is usually found.
These snakes are commonly seen near human residences across Australia due to the fact that rodents are living among humans, and the snakes are quite fond of rats. They also feast on frogs, birds, smaller mammals, reptiles and their eggs, and even fellow Eastern brown snakes. The young usually dine on cold blooded prey, while the adults prefer to hunt warm blooded ones.
