00:00Leanne has spotted a large brown snake in her front garden, just two feet from her daughter's
00:08bedroom.
00:09Yeah right Owen, how long ago did he go in there?
00:1115 minutes ago.
00:12Okay, yep.
00:13And how big do you reckon?
00:141.5.
00:15Yep.
00:16Really?
00:171.5.
00:18Right.
00:19It's pretty cranky.
00:20Okay, no worries.
00:21Alright, well if you just ride to hang back, we'll start scoping out the garden.
00:25So it's just in here apparently.
00:28I was seeing going through these purple bushes.
00:30We'd really like it to go, we've got a little dog and two young kids and some chickens,
00:37so yeah, I'd like it gone.
00:39Oh yep, I can see it.
00:40Can you?
00:41I can see its scales right there.
00:43Truth is big.
00:44Yep, he's just curled up.
00:45Also known as the common brown, the eastern brown snake grows up to six feet in length
00:51and is often found in suburban backyards during the breeding months of September,
00:56October and November.
00:59Oh yep, here he is.
01:00You got him, you got him?
01:01Yep, yeah he's just here.
01:02Okay.
01:03There he is, you see him?
01:04Yep, gotcha.
01:05Oh he's arced up mate.
01:06He's not a happy snake.
01:07He's turning around.
01:08And he's bloody big.
01:10You don't want to mess around with a brown snake, he is on fire.
01:13Look at him just there.
01:15Alright, alright, go easy, go easy.
01:17Seems pretty, seems pretty calm now.
01:20Alright, I got him.
01:21Alright, alright, alright.
01:22Yep.
01:25Alright, I'm going to need you to pass me that bag.
01:27Yep.
01:28That's him, that's the brown.
01:30Hey big fella.
01:31What an impressive snake though.
01:32He is.
01:33You can see all that defensive posturing as well.
01:35Yeah, he's not happy about us moving him out of the garden.
01:38He's not a happy chap.
01:39Easy buddy, go easy Mick.
01:40Watching him twist on himself like that, eh?
01:41Yeah.
01:42He's going to be super careful.
01:43Alright, alright.
01:44He's on fire out.
01:45Going in.
01:46Alright mate, I'm going to take you out bush.
01:47You alright?
01:48Here we go.
01:49Woo.
01:50Mate.
01:51You got him.
01:52That's...
01:53How was that strike?
01:55Despite it's best attempts, this eastern brown snake was not the only one to be caught.
02:02How are you feeling?
02:04Shaken.
02:05Holy shit.
02:06Like a dunny door on a cyclone.
02:07Nice work.
02:08Good job mate.
