Huge Snake Takes at Dip in Backyard Pool
A Queensland family’s backyard pool was off limits for a while recently, when a large python decided to take a refreshing dip.
“There’s a snake in our pool,” Jeremy Santolin’s son can be heard saying, as the family look on.
Santolin told Storyful that the snake “got out of the pool by itself within a few minutes.”
“A professional snake catcher caught the snake in my backyard and released it to a nearby forest,” Santolin said. Credit: Jeremy Santolin via Storyful
