A BUNDABERG fisherman had caught more than he bargained for by misssstake, after finding an eastern brown snake in his fishing net at home yesterday.
But luckily a phone call to Kyle Hancock at Kavs Wildlife Service had the reptile free to slither through another day.
Mr Hancock said the eastern brown snake - the deadliest snake in Australia - was found in the residential area of Avenell Heights.
The trapped snake was a little bumpy - but it wasn't clear how long it had been caught up in the net.
"It was relieved when I removed it from the net," he said.
He gave the dehydrated reptile a drink before releasing it.
He said the warmer weather had kept him on his toes with frequent callouts for help across the Rum City.
If you find a snake at your property phone 0459039695 and let the experts remove it.
