'Adventurous' Venomous Snake Removed From Bathroom, Rescuer Issues Warning [Video]

A snake catcher in Australia has issued a warning after he captured a venomous snake from a bathroom.

Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 owner Stuart McKenzie arrived at a home in Buderim after receiving information that a snake was found slithering in the bathroom.

"This family in Buderim came across a little snake in their bathroom and called us straight away. Not knowing what snake it was, they carefully locked it in there until we arrived," he wrote in a Facebook post.

McKenzie entered the bathroom and found a yellow-faced whip snake slithering near the bathtub.

In a video, posted on Facebook, McKenzie can be seen entering the bathroom, equipped with a snake tong. He, however, picks the snake up with his bare hands and places it in a bag.

McKenzie carries the bag to the living room where he takes out the reptile and educates the family saying, "these guys are super skilled at getting inside. They squeeze in the gaps and are super quick. They are fast and difficult to catch."

The video then cuts to him releasing the reptile into the woods.

"The adventurous Yellow-Faced Whip Snake (which are mildly venomous) came without too much of a fuss, which made it a great opportunity to show the kids and educate them that even though it looks cool and isn’t highly venomous, you should never touch or handle snakes, especially venomous ones!" he wrote in the Facebook post.

Earlier this month, a venomous snake was removed from a bathroom after a child spotted it while taking a shower. Snake catcher Joshua Castle arrived at the home in Queensland and found the venomous eastern brown snake beside the shower door. He caught the snake in five minutes and then relocated it into a conservation park designed for wildlife.

"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.
