Woman finds world's second most venomous snake hiding under her fridge

This is the moment one of the world's most dangerous snakes was caught in a man's bare hands from under a woman's kitchen fridge.

This amazing video shows the moment snake catcher Rolly Burrell used just his hand to catch the reptile in the South Australian city of Adelaide.

Rolly carefully grabbed the animal - an eastern brown snake - which just so happens to be rated the second most venomous land snake in world.

As the terrified home owner looks on Rolly can be seen lifting the four-foot-long reptile up by its tail before placing it in a bag on the floor.

According to Rolly, who has run Snake Catchers Adelaide for the past 40 years, the woman only noticed the snake on Sunday when she went to the fridge to grab a glass of wine and saw a head pointing out.

He said it was only when he recovered the terrifying beast that he realised it was pregnant and it has since gone on to lay a clutch of eggs.

Safe: The snake catcher managed to extract the reptile and remove it from the woman's home

It's thought the reptile was attracted to the humidity under the fridge as a good place for her brood.

Rolly said: "The woman found it on Sunday night, she had a girlfriend over for a glass of wine and she saw this head pop out and then go back under the fridge.

Dangerous: The snake has since laid eggs after it was rescued

"I've been doing this job for 40 years and never have any trouble with snakes, you get these people that say you should wear gloves and use tongs and all that nonsense, but if you need that you shouldn't be in this industry.
