A Bundaberg snake catcher shared his most favourite memory in his job catching the slithering reptiles. See the video.

It’s a surreal scene worthy of any epic film - a choir sings in a beautiful church as the sun sets.

But this scene had one twist for snake catcher Jake Stinson - a slithery reptile who decided to pop in for a service.

Mr Stinson, who runs Jakes Reptile Relocations in Bundaberg, recently decided to share some of his favourite snake catcher memories from his career so far.

Mr Stinson took the video and image in February last year, but only recently recovered the footage from one of the many phones he says get damaged in the process of his job.

“This callout makes for my favourite memory to-date,” he said.

“The Holy Rosary Church of Bundaberg is a spectacular sight on any day, but try his on for size.

“The craziest moment I’ve experienced to date would be the catch of this green tree snake, right next to Mary holding on to Jesus, as the sun was setting, with a choir singing in the background.”

Mr Stinson said it was a “spectacular event”.

“The past two years you’ll notice I have posted a lot less, the world of snakeys has taken me on a journey that often times leaves me overwhelmed and in a state of wonder…,” he said.

“Rest assured I have yet to even scratch the many pics and videos I’ve taken in my journey. I will never stop being amazed by these guys.”
