An Adelaide woman got the fright of her life when she discovered a heavily pregnant brown snake – which later laid 15 eggs! – under her fridge.

Rolly Burrell from Snake Catchers Adelaide, who caught the snake, said, “It’s lucky she saw the snake now or she might have been going to the fridge to get a drink later on and seen all these little critters all over the place.”

Burrell said it was easy to catch the snake – he simply moved the fridge and grabbed it, The Guardian reports.

“I’ve been doing it for 40 years and I make it look easy.”

“When you’re doing 300 snakes a month you tend to get a little bit blasé.”

The snake is currently recovering from the exhaustion of laying the eggs.

She’s been given some mice and water to build up her strength before being released.
