An Australian snake hunter found the world’s second most venomous snake in a toddler’s underwear drawer.
Melbourne-based Mark Pelley was asked to remove a 5ft long Eastern brown snake from a 3-year-old’s bedroom.
“Mom went to get clothes for her son and instead found a huge five foot brown snake,” Pelley wrote of the ordeal on Facebook.
“We know what happened. He brought in loads of laundry yesterday and while he was picking up the clothes [the] clothesline, [the] a brown snake slithered into it.”
Several people on Facebook asked how it was possible not to see the reptile.
“How can you put folded clothes with a 5-foot snake between them into a drawer without you realizing it? I mean a 5 foot chocolate would have weight on it right?” asked Linda Swanwick in the comments section of the post.
Pelley replied that the creature was actually light, and people tended not to notice it.
“The weight is almost non-existent and seriously – this can happen to anyone,” he explained.
“I’ve seen people carry brown snakes in their handbags or rather shopping bags. One day this could happen to you.”

The eastern brown snake, which is “fast-moving, aggressive and notorious for its bad temper,” according to Australian Geographic, is native to eastern and central Australia and southern New Guinea, and can grow up to 7 feet long.
