Andrew Morley, a New South Wales snake catcher, had an encounter with he won’t forget any time soon at a building site in Hoxton Park, Sydney, on November 24.

Morley captured a “monster” brown snake – which he described as the largest he’d ever seen – after being called to the site. However, it wasn’t all straightforward, as his initial attempt saw the highly venomous snake wriggle away. Morley had to act quickly to secure the snake, resulting in claps and cheers from the assembled crowd. Credit: Facebook/Shire Snake Catchers SSC 24/7 via Storyful
