The woman, who couldn’t get her head around how the snake got there, called for a snake catcher to get rid of it.

The snake catcher, Zachery Richards, who spoke to Newsweek, an American weekly news magazine, said that while the woman was waiting for him to arrive, she “shut up the room” and “put a towel underneath the door.”

Richards said that’s exactly what she should have done. He explained that eastern brown snakes have the unfortunate distinction of causing more deaths than any other species of snake.

The snake catcher stated that when he arrived at the woman’s home, he found the snake had stayed in the same exact place and was “having a snooze.”

Speculating what brought the snake indoors, Richards said that it was quite a hot day, so the reptile probably came inside looking for some shelter.
