Snake catcher shares video of close call

(UPI) An Australian snake catcher share video of a dangerous catch that nearly ended with his taking a highly venomous bite.

Stuart McKenzie posted a video to Facebook showing a capture at a Queensland home where an eastern brown snake, one of the most venomous species in the world, managed to escape from his bag.

"As I lowered him into the bag he flung his body upwards and I didn't react quick enough and as I let him go, rather than going into the bag he was now sitting on the rim of the snake bag coming up the handle," McKenzie wrote. I immediately dropped the bag as he was getting way to close to my hand.

 

McKenzie said the snake escaped, but he managed to find it hiding in a cardboard box about 20 minutes later.
