Adelaide couple find deadly surprise inside garden hose reel
On the weekend, an Adelaide couple made a scary discovery after noticing that their garden hose wasn’t retracting back into the reel.
The couple soon discovered a huge eastern brown snake sleeping inside their hose reel.
The couple called on the help of a local snake catcher who uploaded a video of the dangerous removal.
The snake eventually slithered out of its resting spot and the catcher picked it up by its tail and placed it inside a black bag to relocate it.
Viewers of the video commented to express their horror at the size of the snake.
“That’s so big! I would have a heart attack if this was in my backyard,” one person said.
Others expressed their concern over their own hose reels not retracting and wondered if they also had any surprises hiding in there.
Breeding season for eastern brown snakes is ending and residents are being warned that there will be an increase in the number of snakes over the coming weeks as eggs start to hatch.
