Huge snake with 100 teeth found hiding in kitchen after homeowner hears strange noises – World News

A huge snake with 100 teeth was discovered in a kitchen roof – after the homeowner heard the serpent making noises.

Catcher Steve Brown was called out to the property in Brisbane, Australia after the three-metre carpet python was found.

The residents had heard a strange sound coming from above while watching TV so went to investigate – and found the 8kg snake.

Expert Steve, of Brisbane North Snake Catchers and Relocation, then used a hairdryer and a piece of plastic to catch the monster.

He said the operation took him around an hour and a half before the snake was released into nearby bushland.

Steve told Daily Mail Australia: “The owners were watching TV [and] heard a noise, and when they went to inspect [the noise they] came across the big guy.

“[I got him out by] poking and prodding him with a piece of long plastic, and a hairdryer which heats up the area causing him to move and escape.

He added that the species is non-venomous and non-aggressive but warned it would defend itself if it felt threatened.

‘Even though it’s non-venomous, a bite from one of these guys this size can do some damage as they have almost 100 teeth,’ Steve said.

The species are found around the greater Brisbane area, where they often live in roofs to feed on mice and rats.

Larger ones can grow to four metres in length and can eat dogs, cats and birds.

Steve regularly upload pictures of his captures on Facebook, where he receives hundreds of likes and comments.

Talking about the recent find in the food, one commenter said: “At that size, he better be chipping in on the mortgage/rent. That’s a roommate.”
