A homeowner was left "nervous and shaken up" after discovering a deadly eastern brown snake in the washing machine, according to the snake catcher who was called to remove the reptile.

The snake was found at a home in Gladstone in Queensland, Australia. "I saw the snake's head at the top of the washing machine, inside the machine where all the electrical stuff is," Tom Maddin, from Maddin's Gladstone Regional Reptile Catcher, told Newsweek. "I started poking around trying to gently coax it out. Then I just let the snake come out by itself and quickly put him into my snake-catching bag."
