Footage shared to Facebook on August 29 shows a snake catcher from Queensland carefully removing a huge red belly snake from a man’s shed.

Stuart McKenzie was called in to wrangle the reptile which had taken residence in the homeowner’s work shed. Using a headlamp and snake hook, McKenzie successfully extracted the creature from his temporary abode.

According to McKenzie, the “chunky little red belly” was in good health and looked as though it “certainly hadn’t skipped any meals.”
