Reptile expert Stuart McKenzie initially thought he was dealing with a highly-venomous brown snake, which is considered to be the second most toxic land snake in the world.

An Australian reptile catcher who thought he was attending a call-out on Friday about a deadly eastern brown snake was surprised when it turned out to be one of the largest common tree snakes he had ever encountered.Facebook

His team responded to an industrial site at the beachside town of Coolum, Queensland, after workers thought they were dealing with a highly-venomous brown snake, which is considered to be the second most toxic land snake in the world. Any fears instantly appeared to vanish as the reptile attempts to flee from the area and is instantly identified."It's a huge tree snake! That is one of the biggest tree snakes I've ever seen. That is incredible," McKenzie was heard saying in the cell phone video.

He wrote in a caption after the snake was safely relocated to bushland that the team was initially cautious as they were expecting a"nice warm brown snake."
