“Snake in the Grass (Literally): Reptile Wrangler Called to Save the Day…and a Model Train Set”
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of a quiet Queensland neighborhood scratching their heads, a venomous brown tree snake was found snoozing away in a model train set tunnel. And who else but an Australian reptile wrangler was called to rescue the day (or rather, the snakes)?
The scene unfolded like a real-life game of Operation: Snake Edition. Gemma, the brave and no-doubt- snake-phobe-free reptile wrangler from Google (we’re guessing), received a frantic call from homeowners who stumbled upon the unwanted guest in their living room.
According to eyewitnesses, the brown tree snake, estimated to be around 3 feet long (but still terrifyingly long), was curled up in a cozy little ball, taking a snooze amidst the miniature train tracks and rolling hills of the model set. It’s unclear how the snake ended up there, but we’re guessing it might have been looking for a peaceful retreat from the chaos of daily life – or maybe just trying to get away from all the annoying humans.
Gemma, being the reptile wrangler extraordinaire that she is (we assume), arrived at the scene in her trusty snake-catching gear and promptly got to work. With a swoop of her expertly trained arm, she carefully plucked the sleepy serpent from its newfound abode and whisked it away to safety.
The homeowners, shaken but grateful for Gemma’s expertise, couldn’t help but remark on the sheer audacity of the snake’s move: “Who does that?!” one exclaimed. Another chimed in, “I mean, I’ve seen snakes slither around the backyard before, but this is next level!”
As news of the incident spread like wildfire (or rather, like a slow-moving venomous snake), neighbors began sharing their own snake-related horror stories and tips for avoiding such unwanted visitors.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, confessed to having found a gecko in their bathroom sink once. “I was brushing my teeth, and suddenly I’m face-to-face with a tiny, scaly face staring back at me! Talk about a morning wake-up call!”
Meanwhile, Gemma’s reputation as the go-to reptile wrangler has undoubtedly soared (pun intended). Who knows what other slithery surprises await her on the job front? Perhaps she’ll encounter a python partying in a piano, or a cobra cozied up in a coffee maker.
In any case, we can only hope that Gemma will continue to save the day (or at least, the snakes) and keep Australia’s reptile population in check – one model train set tunnel at a time.
