Three Deadly Sex-Crazed Snakes Caught at Same House

Three deadly, sex-crazed snakes have been caught at the same house in Australia over a three-week period.

In a "day full of surprises" snake catcher Stuart McKenzie, who founded snake rescue business Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, was called to remove two of the Eastern brown snakes from the same property in one day. The third one was found at the premises just weeks later.

In a Facebook post, McKenzie said it was likely two males competing for the partnership of a female during peak breeding season. In Australia, Eastern brown snakes usually mate in the warmer summer months, from mid-October.

The Eastern brown snake is native to Australia and found across the country. It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. Its potent venom is second only to the inland taipan, which is considered the most venomous snake. Male Eastern brown snakes are known to aggressively compete for a chance with a female, who lay between 20 to 40 eggs in a clutch.

Footage shows the moment the snake catcher captures two of the sex-crazed snakes in one day. McKenzie arrived at a family home in Diddillibah, a suburb near the sunshine coast, to remove one of the snakes found slithering around their home.

The video begins with McKenzie chasing the first snake around the garden as it begins to slither away. The person holding the camera warns him "he's here I can see him." The snake stops among some garden plants, and McKenzie, poises to grab it before it slithers the other way.

The snake catcher then manages to grab the snake by the tail. The snake lunges up at McKenzie a few times, agitated.

"He's highly reactive, every time I move the bag towards his face he gets a bit grumpy," he says.

The snake is finally transported safely into the bag.

But just 45 minutes later, McKenzie was called back to the same house, where the homeowners had spotted another of the deadly snakes lurking around the home.

McKenzie arrives back at the property to catch the snake. "He's looking for his girlfriend you got earlier," the homeowner can be heard saying.

This snake is "definitely bigger," McKenzie says.

He manages to grab the tail of the snake however it puts up a fight. The snake begins to lunge at the snake catcher, but McKenzie dodges out the way.

"Stay back, stay back, stay back," he warns the homeowners. Once the snake is safely stowed inside the bag, the homeowner sighs in relief.

McKenzie then releases the snakes back into the wild, where they were keen to be let go.

"Both these snakes wanted nothing to do with me and all they wanted to do was get away," McKenzie said in a Facebook post.
