A mum had her worst fear come to fruition when an eastern brown snake slithered into her four-year-old’s bedroom inside her Old Junee home.
In a video uploaded to TikTok, mum Renée Pallister filmed the snake as it slithered across pink shoes.
“Not exactly what you want to find in your baby’s room when you come home. F--k. It likes pink shoes. It’s quite a long snake,” she said.
Ms Pallister revealed that her teenage son luckily discovered the reptile while home sick.

“My son was sick and found it first. I was at work and drove home,” she wrote.
“Lucky he was home otherwise my four-year-old daughter would have been the first in her room. Terrifying.”
Still reeling from her encounter, the mum admits she still has a case of “snake PTSD”.
“I haven’t been able to sleep much,” she wrote.
“Even though the snake was removed I still keep waking up and checking my daughter’s room.”
After discovering her slippery house guest, Ms Pallister searched the room for snake entry points.
“This one got in by a small hole that went unnoticed,” she wrote.
“We have patched it up now.”
Commenters were concerned for the mum, but equally impressed by the snake’s taste in shoes.
“Took me a minute to notice the snake. I don’t know why I was fixated on the shoes,” one commenter wrote.
“He likes pink shoes but doesn’t have any feet,” another commenter added.
In response the mum said the snake was also a huge children’s literary fan, knocking over multiple books from the bookshelf while inside the bedroom.
