Swimming snakes are providing extra incentive for Victorians to keep out of floodwaters as parts of the state brace for further heavy rains and possible flash floods.
Some areas of Victoria could receive a month's worth of rain within 24 hours as heavy downpours cross the state.
Flood warnings remain in place in the north, centre and southwest of Victoria. A severe weather warning for heavy rain and possible flash flooding has been issued in the Mallee and parts of the Wimmera, South West, North Country, North Central and Central districts.
One-day totals of 20 to 50 millimetres are forecast in Mildura, Horsham, Bendigo, Maryborough, Kyneton and Ballarat.
Some areas may even be hit with up to 70mm by later this afternoon, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.
