A snake catcher based in Queensland recently encountered a potentially dangerous visitor at a daycare centre in Ipswich. The N&S Snake Catcher Ipswich, Brisbane & Logan shared their experience on Facebook, revealing that an eastern brown snake had made itself comfortable in a basket at the facility.
Although eastern brown snakes typically avoid confrontations with humans, they can become defensive if they feel threatened, making their presence near young children particularly concerning. This species is among the most venomous in Australia and is responsible for the highest number of snake-related fatalities in the country.
If you come across an eastern brown snake or any other snake in your vicinity, it’s crucial to contact a professional snake catcher for assistance.
