00:00Easy does it, mate.
00:08Nick is attempting to wrangle a highly venomous eastern brown snake.
00:12This could get extremely hairy right now.
00:15So now he's hooked onto something and what they generally do is do that until they let
00:19go and then they come absolutely flying out.
00:22He's pretty decent.
00:24Oh, he's massive.
00:26Just let me know if you need anything.
00:30Coming out?
00:31Yep.
00:32Yep.
00:33Oh, he's inched through.
00:37So as you would probably know, these are highly venomous.
00:39Yes.
00:40Yep.
00:41So it's a good thing to get him out of your garden, that's for sure.
00:43Is there more?
00:44This is perfect habitat for them, so there is a possibility that you'll get another snake
00:48here, but just because we've caught one brown snake doesn't mean that there's going to be
00:52more brown snakes or anything like that.
00:54Alright.
00:55Easy.
00:57He's quite relaxed, isn't he?
00:59Alright, I'll grab it in the right.
01:01Alright.
01:02Ready to go?
01:06Easy, mate.
01:07He's a beautiful snake.
01:10See those classic orange spots on his belly there?
01:12So that's how you can tell a brown snake from any other snake.
01:16They'll quite often get up in an S position in a defensive posture.
01:21So you'll just take him somewhere?
01:24Yeah.
01:26Just go find a nice patch of bush away from people.
01:30The snake is secure and can now be released back into the wild.
01:37Alright, this looks like a great spot just up here.
01:39Same, please.
01:40Not too worked up.
01:42This patch of bushland is miles away from Megan's property and popular residential suburbs.
01:49So just be ready, okay?
01:50Because if he's a bit hot, the day's got a lot warmer.
01:54Yeah.
01:55If he comes out hot, he could go any direction.
02:01Alright, mate.
02:02This is your time to shine.
02:03See you, buddy.
02:04Back into the bush.
02:05Despite having pristine forest in every direction...
02:09Stay still, boys.
02:10Stay really still.
02:12Really still.
02:13You're alright.
02:14Just let him go.
02:15The snake is heading straight towards cameraman Dave.
02:20Don't move, mate.
02:21At all.
02:25To be continued...
