- Queensland snake catcher has filmed the moment he removed two fat pythons
- The snakes were both in a hen house – where they had each eaten a chicken
- They didn’t appear to like being disturbed from their post-snack nap
A snake catcher has filmed the incredible moment he removed two pythons from a chicken coop – each one with a bulging stomach after feeding on the roosting birds.
Queensland snake catcher Luke Huntley looked excited as he inspected the chicken coop – and noted the hens appeared to be terrified of their scaly neighbours.
The professional reptile man said it was ‘very unusual’ to see two carpet pythons ‘having a feed in the same place’ as it is not breeding season for the snakes.
‘Both snakes were a bit grumpy, but I guess I would be too if I was disturbed after a big meal,’ he said.
‘I haven’t encountered this situation before, it is quite rare but pretty cool – I feel very lucky.’
The first snake – which was digesting its meal on top of the nesting boxes didn’t appear to like the snake catcher’s intrusion.
The video shows the snake becoming ‘a little bit aggressive’ within moments of being disturbed.
After a bit of poking Mr Huntley managed to grab the snake – just under the bulge of the freshly-devoured chicken.
This snake was found in a chicken coop in Queensland – it was one of two pythons in the coop
After putting the first snake safely in the bag he attempted to pull the other snake out of its den – which happened to be one of the hens’ nesting boxes.
The second snake – also with a huge, bulging stomach, was about six foot long according to the expert who removed it swiftly from its resting spot.
The video ended with Mr Huntley giving the camera a thumbs up – he removed the two snakes to bush land nearby.

Both of the snakes were bulging around the middle – where they had eaten a chicken
