Shocking moment Glenn McGrath grabs three snakes with bare hands

Aussie Cricket legend Glenn McGrath has turned into a part time snake wrangler after having to remove three snakes from his rural Queensland property with his bare hands.

McGrath found the carpet pythons slithering inside his home on Wednesday, and decided to share the footage of him removing the unwelcome guests in different locations in his house. 

One python was inside his pantry, another was in the living room and third was making its way across the hall.

"After plenty of encouragement and support from my wife, all three Coastal Carpet Pythons that were in the house were safely released back into the bush," he captioned the video. 

In the video, his wife Sara screamed in absolute horror as he removed one of the snakes by grabbing its tail, carefully wrapping it around a mop, and taking it outside.

"You're going to get bitten," she screamed. 

McGrath calmly reassured her that he had it all under control. 

Fortunately, the carpet pythons are a non-venomous breed, so there was no real threat to McGrath. 

However, many fans of the cricketer still applauded his bravery in the comments. 

"Haha good technique mate. Steve Irwin couldn't have done it any better," wrote one fan. 

"This is better than his 50 he scored against New Zealand," quipped another. 

"Keeping a good line and length between self and snake! Good work!" wrote a third. 

"This 🐍 knows he’s being handled by a CHAMP.. " commented a fourth.
