A snake catcher in Australia has issued a warning after he captured a massive snake from a roof.
Snake wrangler Luke Huntley said he caught the 5-foot-long red-bellied black snake after the reptile crawled into the roof of a home in Cooroy, Queensland.
Calling it a difficult catch, Huntley told news.com.au, "I could only stand on the beams (of the ceiling) so it was a tricky catch."
Issuing a warning, he said, "It definitely goes to show a venomous snake can absolutely climb."
Huntley, who runs Snake Catcher Noosa, took to Facebook to post a photo of himself holding the large reptile while standing on a hill.
