Snake catchers film 'epic chase' with deadly serpent in front yard

A neighbor had spotted the eastern brown snake slithering through the front yard of the home and subsequently alerted the snake catchers.for more than eight minutes around the front yard, cornering the snake a number of times.

"After he realized we were after him, he woke up and was very quick between the rocks and garden plants... there were a few close calls and it gave us the slip multiple times," the snake catchers said. "Finally we were able to surround him up against a fence, feeling trapped and threatened he got in the 'S' shaped defensive position—he had several lunges at us before trying to get away, and luckily we were able to catch and relocate him!" the Facebook post said.

After grabbing the snake and placing it a bag, one of the snake catchers, Stuart McKenzie, said in the video:"That is a big old healthy brown snake. Look at the size of him. He gave me a run there. Couple of grabs, couple of misses."While eastern browns have a reputation for being aggressive, much like other venomous serpents, the animals tend to avoid lunging at humans unless they feel threatened or have been provoked.
