An Australian catcher said it showed deadly snakes are not always aggressive 'but in fact want nothing to do with humans and will go to drastic measures to get away from us.'

A highly-venomous snake launched itself off a two-story balcony while fleeing from a reptile catcher in Australia this week.

The catchers said the snake had likely climbed up a large pandanus tree that was next to the balcony but quickly decided to leave the area after being approached. The reptile relocation business owner said the case also demonstrated that some of the highly venomous snakes living in the country are actually"very capable climbers." After slithering from the balcony, the eastern brown"disappeared back into the bush."

If bitten, its venom, which contains powerful presynaptic neurotoxins and nephrotoxins, can cause"progressive paralysis and uncontrollable bleeding" in humans.
