Robert Irwin left fans horrified on Thursday after revealing he found a snake making a new home for itself in one of his boots.
In a video posted to social media, the wildlife warrior, 21, shared a scene that would have most jumping for the rafters.
The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Australia host appeared calm as he found a huge snake buried deep into his boots on an outdoor shoe rack.
However many of his fans questioned why Australians leave their shoes outside when there is a risk of insects and reptiles hiding in them.
‘I feel like an outdoor shoe rack in Australia is a really bad idea,’ one person wrote.
‘You are all brave leaving your shoes outside in Australia. Though you’re probably the best people to do it,’ another commented.

‘You are a better man than me to leave your shoes outdoors in Australia [and give them] access giant spiders. Kudos to you sir,’ a third agreed.
‘Is it normal to leave your shoes outside in Australia? That’s terrifying,’ another person questioned.
‘Having a shoe rack outside in Australia of all places is wild,’ one added.
In the video, Robert began by saying: ‘Tell me you live in Australia without telling me you live in Australia.’
He then panned his phone around to reveal the shoe rack lined with an array of footwear.
‘Have a look at the shoe rack,’ Robert exclaimed as it became evident that a large snake had perched itself across the top row of shoes.
‘What’s the plan here, mate? What are you doing? Those are mine!’ Robert said to the sly serpent, referring to a pair of boots the snake was eyeing off.
The snake, which is a non-venomous carpet python, then began to coil its long body inside one of Robert’s boots, much to his amazement.

‘I don’t know what the plan is there, buddy. You’re not going to fit in there,’ Robert added, however his words went unheeded with the snake embedding itself further into his boot.
‘Get out of my shoe!’ he exclaimed before admitting he was unclear how he would extricate the snake from his footwear.
Placing his phone down, Robert knelt in front of the boot and effortlessly pulled the snake from its would-be new home.
‘What are you doing on a shoe rack?’ Robert asked his slithering shoe squatter. ‘You don’t even have any feet!’
