When maths teacher Danny Marcok woke up yesterday, he was surprised to see a tail hanging from his split-system air conditioner.
The Melbourne man and his wife “thought it was a rat’s tail sticking out” but Mr Marcok’s wife Denise took a closer look with a torch and was shocked at what she saw.
Buried deep inside the unit at the couple’s home in Little River, 49km southwest of Melbourne, was one of the deadliest creatures on the planet — a 75cm tiger snake.
Mr. Marcok called in reptile relocator Stewy the Snake Catcher for a bit of help.
