What residents believed was one big snake in their roof turned out to be four enormous diamond pythons when local firefighters came to the ressssscue.
A Bundeena Fire and Rescue crew have removed five snakes in five days from houses near Sydney’s Royal National Park – and this morning it was four for the price of one.
“At 10.35am the crew was called to a giant snake in a roof void,” they wrote on Facebook.
“On arrival the crew found it wasn’t a giant snake – it was four large diamond pythons, which were captured and released a few hundred metres down a fire trail near where they were caught.”
On October 26 at 3.20pm the crew responding to a snake sighting made history as the first full team of female firefighters in the station’s history.
The team caught a mildly venomous Eastern Marsh Snake, distinguished from deadly brown snakes with a light stripe under their eyes.
“This is the first time this has happened at 80 station since FRNSW started employing female firefighters,” they said on Facebook.
“Proving the girls are awesome and can match it with anyone.”
