6 feet long poisonous snake was hidden in the woman's blanket, was removing the sheet

In general, people are afraid of snakes because these reptiles are notorious for slipping into the most tricky places.

CBS News reported that a woman in Queensland, Australia, was stunned to see a 6-foot venomous snake hidden in her bed.

The incident took place on Monday when the woman went to her bedroom to change the sheets on her bed and a highly venomous eastern brown snake came out from under the blanket.

He quickly closed the door, stuffed a towel in the space below to prevent the snake from escaping into his house, and called a snake catcher. 

Zachary Richards, owner of Zachary's Snake & Reptile Relocation, told CBS News, "When I arrived, the lady was waiting for me outside, and I went inside to the bedroom where the snake was, and she closed the door with a towel down So that he could not get out, I pushed. The door opened, and he was lying on the bed looking at me.

Zachary's Snake and Reptile Relocation also posted photos of a 6-foot eastern brown snake spread across the woman's bed.

The Facebook post read, "Watch the bed tonight!

This eastern brown snake was safely shifted. 

Richards said that the snake came through the open door to escape the heat.

After catching it, he took the snake to nearby bushes, where he dropped it at a safe distance from other houses.

Richards further said, "The snake might have come in through the open door to take shelter because it was very hot outside that day, or it just needed a nice comfortable bed to sleep."

If you see a snake, you leave it alone, back away from it and where possible and safe to do so, confine it to a room because it makes it easier for us to find." 

The snake catcher advised others to take the same steps as the woman if they found a snake in their house.

Eastern brown snakes are the second most venomous land snake in Australia.

According to data from the Australian Venom Research Unit of the University of Melbourne, they have the second most toxic venom of all land snakes worldwide.

Their venom contains a potent neurotoxin, which gradually paralyzes the nerves in the victim's heart, lungs and diaphragm, eventually leading to suffocation.

According to the Department of Environment and Science in Queensland, the species is most active during the day and may bite when provoked.
