Deadly Snake Found Swimming In Home Pool, Family Terrified [Video]

A family in Australia was terrified after spotting a deadly snake cooling down in their swimming pool.

The eastern brown snake -- one of the deadliest reptiles in the world -- was found in the home pool in a suburb of Adelaide. Snake Catchers Adelaide, a group of professionally trained and licensed reptile removalists, who was called to take away the serpent, shared a video of the same.

"This beautiful eastern brown found a nice place to cool down in the heat at Marino today. Too bad it was in the overflow channel of a family pool!" Snake Catchers Adelaide wrote alongside a video of the reptile.

"Keep an eye out... the little buggers seem to be everywhere this Summer!" one social media user wrote in the comments sections. Another praised the snake, calling it a "lovely swimmer."

The snake catchers managed to remove the reptile from the pool, UPI.com reported.

The eastern brown snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, and the species is widespread throughout eastern Australia. According to the Australian Museum, eastern brown snakes react defensively if surprised.

“Snakes don’t perceive humans as food and they don’t aggressively bite things out of malice. Their venom is used to subdue prey that would otherwise be impossible for a snake to eat,” Dion Wedd, curator of the Territory Wildlife Park, Northern Territory, told Australian Geographic. “If their only escape route is past a human with a shovel, then they are likely to react in the only way they can.”

In a recent incident, a deadly snake was found in the laundry room of a home in Australia. Snake catcher Joshua Castle arrived at a home in Queensland after receiving a call from the family who found the reptile in their house. The red-bellied black snake was found hiding under the wall by Castle. "Homeowners called me, the wife saw it go into the laundry room. I arrived to find it hiding under the wall. I tickled it with my snake hook. It came flying out, past my hand and legs, it went up into the washing machine. It took so long as I needed to pull the washing machine apart," Castle told International Business Times at the time.
