Trouser snake?

MattLorenzo I would’ve crashed off a cliff

Pull over and get out of the car you numpty. In Australia we walk past deadly animals daily. I’d be more worried about trump.

Same exact thing happened to me except it was a fake rubber snake in our living room and I pushed my wife towards it.

Snakes in car. Starring seatbelt man

Another reason Australia is a no-go for me!

Oh wow, Australia is home to some highly venomous snakes... including my sister-in-law!

When you said brown snake I thought you mean Don Lemon for a second.

Damn, Australia is scary.

You pull over and set the car on fire.

But officer ....That ol chestnut 🙄

Sounds like a normal day in this poison infested country that is Australia.

What a boring CNN posting this type news. 😜

cnn you should cancel your Twitter account and just focus on tv. Coz all your tweets are a flop.

😮

I shouldn't have read the article !!! I'll take the highway to drive to the golf club later on.................😳😳

The snake didn't want to go 100 Km on 'foot' because it was tired and took a car.

And this.....

Looks like he’s giving the man the old snake eye...

Should be the guy is a satanist

Always easier to fight an enemy that u can see and that u know about even if it is dangerous, the invisible and unknown ones are difficult 😑

Struth

Found free Lunch too ...😜

Nope I would have let Jesus take me. F that!!

🤔🤔 I can imagine what he did afterwards

Why not just befriend the snake? 😎🐍 He's likely very nice once you get to know him.

Rural Aussies are fck’n nuts.
