Well that one looks pretty snug in there, hope you just closed the drawer and left.
That's a different one to the last one, not a python but doesn't look like a dangerous snake, the bad ones tend to react pretty quick and either defend or leg it.
not the sort of lead I would be expecting!!
Thank Dog the culture shock of moving from the UK to Tas was gentle, just big huntsmen and cold beer.
Nothing like that bugger in your drawers!!

Very high chance of dying after a bite from one of the more dangerous Australian snakes, even with medical treatment. Anti-venom offers a false sense of safety.
When I lived on the farm we killed any tiger snakes around the house - just too dangerous for kids and pets. Apparently black snakes keep other more dangerous species away.
I don't think its an Eastern Brown as they don't seem to have a yellow belly. My guess is, its a Tiger snake (still very dangerous), or a Brown tree snake (not dangerous) if it has yellow eyes.

If you look at the image closely, it does not appear to have yellow eyes. Also, the belly does have a yellow tinge (look at the exposed belly bits). Finally look at the skin pattern and compare it to the image from the website I linked.
Anyway, get a professional in to remove it, I reckon.
Quite. Just don't try plugging it into a wall socket.
Leon, I used to think house sitting sounded like a good lark; sit around in some swish place, feed to pooches and budgies and occasionally mow the lawn. You're making me reconsider.
David do it mate, this place is unreal over looking the Kepple Islands, high on a hill.
It is huge, three levels and two massive sheds, a low maintenance garden, however a bit steep for my older legs, but i manage.
Their 40ft Catamaran awaits their return in Roslyn Bay Marina.
We pay nothing to be here and are encouraged to drive the second car with fuel supplied and use all food in the freezer, until their return.
It certainly was a lucky House Sit but we do have plenty of excellent references, from all over the Country.
