According to media reports, the teenager was bringing in washing at her home in Bli Bli, Queensland, when she spotted a red-bellied black snake slither out of the clothes’ basket and into her room. The baby red-bellied snake, then took refuge to the inside of an open-top of her blue puffer. A snake handler from the Sunshine Coast Snake 24/7 rushed to the spot to relocate the innovative snake.

Although the red-bellied black snake was only a hatchling, it could have still delivered a nasty bite if it had felt intimated or been provoked. Red-bellied snakes are said to be Australia’s tenth most lethal snake, and a single bite of the reptile can be fatal. They have venom deadly enough to kill humans, but are on the lower end of the spectrum, and deaths are rare.
