Highly venomous snake found in hand bag

A Noosa Waters resident was shocked to find a highly venomous Eastern small eyed snake had snuck into her handbag overnight.

Snake Catcher Noosa Luke Huntley was called to the rescue and swiftly relocated the snake to a more appropriate area.

“She left the bag outside on her back porch overnight and the very large and highly venomous Eastern small eyed snake went in,“ Luke said.

“She went to grab the bag and saw the black scales shining back. Lucky she looked into her bag.“

Luke said he had been busy the past few weeks with snakes popping up everywhere around the Noosa region.

“Yesterday I had 11 calls. It’s the big boom before it slows down,“ he said.

For snake relocation and advice call Snake Catcher Noosa Luke Huntley on 0499 920 290.
