Carpet snake that looks like an anaconda crawls off roof
The snake catcher says he's seen bigger...
When you are from KZN, you get used to the fact that at some point or another you may find a snake.
The luscious and vibrant greenery around our province serves as an excellent home for these slithery creatures, who don't always know what to do with themselves in the presence of humans.
But this time we found a video that went viral online of a carpet snake crawling off of a roof in Queensland, Australia.
The carpet snake, which measured around 3m, crawled off the roof and into the tree parallel to the house.
It showed off its length as its head protruded out of the tree while its tail area still remained on the roof.
What was surprising to the viewers and many commentators on TikTok was that the snake catcher said this isn't the biggest he has found.
