Getting into the water pipe to pair, poisonous snakes were caught alive

Two oriental brown snakes, the second most venomous snake in the world, were caught when they crawled into people's homes during the breeding season.

A pair of oriental brown snakes (Pseudonaja textilis) , native to Australia, enter the sewer line of a house in Nambour, Queensland, to mate. The snake catchers quickly arrived and interrupted their work. The interruption made the male angry and seemed to want to bite the worker several times.

The process of catching snakes was recorded by Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers and posted on social networks on October 26. To date, the video has attracted more than 106,000 views.

"By the time we got there, the snakes were already inside the tube so I could sneak in. I caught both of them at the same time but one slipped out when I tried to pull them out of the tube. Finally, I caught both of them. and put it in the bag with the help of colleague Olivia," said Stuart McKenzie, head of the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers organization.

The Oriental brown snake is the second most venomous snake in the world, after the domestic taipan snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). They are fast-moving, ferocious and are the deadliest snake species in Australia each year, according to the Australian Museum. They can breed quickly in densely populated places and easily sneak into homes through small openings.

Oriental brown snakes only need to inject 4 milligrams of venom into their victims, after which a potent mixture of neurotoxins, cardiotoxins and blood coagulants begins to cause paralysis, cardiac arrest and uncontrolled bleeding. In some cases, the victim will die from the bite when the venom causes bleeding in the brain.

Although Eastern brown snakes are usually alert and fearful, they will attack without hesitation if threatened or faced with unexpected situations, according to the Australian Museum. They often shrink into an S shape and then rush towards the attacker . October is the breeding season of oriental brown snakes . They were looking for a mate, so McKenzie and other snake catchers noticed an increase in their activity.
