Large Eastern Brown Snake

Occurred on September 16, 2017 / Brisbane, Australia

Info from Licensor: "We were called out to Wynnum North shops to relocate an Eastern brown snake which fancied him self some fish and chips! Unfortunately for him, he was refused entry and decided to take a stroll over to the Aquarium shop and Hair Salon. They were also not impressed by his presence. The shop owners responded swiftly and safely by keeping the doors closed and their gorgeous dog inside away from harm. They, then immediately called us to come and safely remove him. As you can see in the video, it's just the dogs nature to warn off the snake or sometimes play with them. The snake means no harm as its just looking for a mouse or rat nearby, but unfortunately this is how many dogs and cats are bitten as the snake gets frightened and has no choice but to defend themselves. Luckily, because of the smart actions of the shop owner the dog and snake were separated by the glass door."
