Snakes are one of the perils of living in Australia, but now a Sunshine Coast father has had a terrifying first-hand experience.
He was tidying up the house when he spotted the reptile slithering in the shadows underneath the cot, and quickly called the experts.
Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers sharedthis image on Facebook, but even when you know it's there the snake isn't easy to spot.
"A Little Mountain local was vacuuming his house today when he saw what he thought to be a young brown snake in the [baby's] room! Keeping an eye on the snake he gave us a call and I rushed out," said a snake catcher called Max.
He found slippery little sucker lurking between the nappy box and the wall.
