At first glance, it might seem to be just a bunch of electrical cords. But, when you take a closer look, a baby serpent can be found hiding in plain sight.
The tiny reptile was spotted by an Australian snake catcher, who was called to a Brisbane home on Friday.
“When I saw the red and black leads, I thought ‘well this could be interesting’, but it took me all of two minutes to find it,” snake catcher Tony Harrison told 9news.com.au. “This one was very small, very young – but from the day they are born, to the day they die their venom is the same strength.”
According to Harrison, the snake was a red-bellied black snake. Despite it being typically shy and avoiding humans, it is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in Australia, as its venom can cause muscle and nerve damage and a blood-clotting disorder.
