A snake catcher who was called after a family found a python in their garage was stunned to find it was part of a breeding pair.
Dan shared a picture of the scene after one of the snakes had been removed on the Sunshine Snake Catchers 24/7 Facebook page.
He said he had arrived at a home in Cooroy, Queensland, and removed the snake – and it was only then that he realised there were actually two.

‘Upon arrival, there seemed to be a lot of scales for one snake. Further investigation revealed what was a breeding pair!
‘This photo was taken after one snake was removed, as I didn’t realise there was 2 until I started to move the 1st one.’
