Snake catcher removes large brown snake from Ipswich backyard

It took a Queensland snake catcher two-hours to catch a large and deadly Eastern Brown snake hidden in a backyard retaining wall.

A close call between the catcher and the deadly snake was caught on camera as the “huge” reptile was pulled from the rock wall at Augustine Heights in Ipswich.

Footage from N&S Snake Catcher Ipswich, Brisbane & Logan via Facebook shows the snake catcher attempting to lure the large snake into a bag after pulling it from a tall retaining wall.

The agitated snake resists and is flung from the wall down the grass below, metres from the family watching on.

The ordeal left the cameraman bolting for his life as the snake fell in very close proximity.

“It took us two hours to get him out,” the post read.

A women in the background can be heard saying “oh f**k it’s huge!”

“Just a little risking (sic) standing at the height of the retaining wall with at (sic) eastern brown, not much room to move and grabbing the snake … But finally got the snake”.
