An Australian reptile wrangler responded to a retail store incident involving a venomous snake spotted "browsing the new summer collection."
According to Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, a "gorgeous" eastern brown snake was found moving through a retail shop in Moffat Beach, Queensland.
The store’s staff evacuated the area and imposed a lockdown until snake catcher Dan arrived to handle the situation.
A video of the event depicts the snake navigating under a clothing rack and then hiding beneath a wooden shelf. In the footage, Dan uses a hook to coax the snake from its spot, then safely secures the serpent by the tail and places it in a bag for relocation.
