Child Finds Deadly Snake In Bathroom While Taking Shower, Reptile Captured

A child in Australia spotted a slithery intruder in the bathroom while taking a shower. The highly venomous snake was removed after the child raised an alarm.

Snake catcher Joshua Castle arrived at a home in Queensland on Sunday after receiving a call from the homeowners saying there was a snake in the bathroom.

"The homeowners called me in the morning, when I told them we charge a fee she said she would call me back. She called back 8 hours later. Luckily she did call me, because it was an eastern brown, dangerously venomous. They had kids and pets. This could have ended bad leaving it in the house for so long," Castle told International Business Times.

Castle spotted the baby snake beside the shower door. He quickly captured the reptile and relocated it.

"I found the snake in the bathroom, right beside the shower door. It took roughly 5 minutes to safely bay the snake. The snake was relocated back into a conservation park designed for wildlife," he added.

Castle posted a photo of the snake on Instagram in which the reptile can be seen beside the shower door inside the bathroom.

Though the snake was only 1 foot long, Castle said baby eastern brown snakes are more dangerous than the bigger ones.

"The snake was 35cm long but don't let size fool you. Babies are just as bad if not worse because they can't regulate their venom," Castle told IBT.

The incident came days after an eastern brown snake was captured from the lounge room of a home in Australia. It was found hiding under the TV unit. Castle reached the home after receiving a call from the homeowner. He said the homeowner wasn't sure what sort of snake it was. The snake was captured following a quick 10-minute rescue operation and relocated to nearby bushland away from houses.
