World's second most venomous snake found in children's wardrobe

Mr. Mark Pelley, in the Australian city of Melbourne, was asked to remove a 1.5 meter long Eastern brown snake from a 3-year-old child's bedroom, according to the New York Post on the evening of January 13.

"His mother went to get some clothes for her son and instead found a large brown snake over 5 feet long. We found out what happened. Yesterday she put the washed and folded clothes in a drawer and when she was getting the clothes off the clothesline the brown snake slithered into it," Mr Pelley wrote on Facebook.

Some people on Facebook asked how the mother could have missed the venomous snake. "How can you put folded clothes in a drawer with a 5-foot snake in it and not notice? A 5-foot brown snake is a bit heavy, right?" Linda Swanwick wrote in the comments section of Pelley's story about the venomous snake.

Mr Pelley replied that these creatures are actually very light and people tend to ignore them. “They weigh almost nothing and seriously this could happen to anyone,” Mr Pelley wrote.

The eastern brown snake is "fast-moving, aggressive and notorious for its temperamental nature", native to eastern and central Australia as well as southern New Guinea, and can grow up to 2.1 metres long, according to Australian Geographic magazine.
