A horrifying snake discovery has sparked warnings for people to thoroughly check under the covers before bed to avoid getting an alarming surprise.
The warning got here after an unlimited brown snake needed to be faraway from someone’s bed in Kalbar, west of the Gold Coast in Queensland, on Monday.
The Eastern Brown snake was collected from the house by Zachery’s Snake and Reptile Relocation, which shared chilling photos of the animal lazing on the bed to Facebook.
“Check the bed fastidiously tonight! This eastern brown snake safely relocated!” the snake catcher wrote together with the photos.
The snake appeared to have been disturbed from a warm nap on the time of the photos, with a part of its body still tucked beneath the blanket at the tip of the bed.
It had its head raised and stared back on the camera as if it was upset to have been woken.
Lots of of locals were mortified on the sight and vowed to never head to bed without checking under the covers again.
“That is what nightmares are manufactured from,” one wrote in response to the photos.
“Well I’m never sleeping again,” one other said.
“Oh excellent. Doubt I’ll sleep ever again,” another person said.
The story got here as a reminder for others to be more vigilant about keeping their doors closed to avoid unwanted reptiles slithering in.
“And this is the reason I all the time say ‘close the doors’,” one wrote in a comment.
“I might simply pass away,” another person said.
