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

- Oh! Oh, he's up.

Oh, he's going in.

- What is he doing?

- I'm not sure if you want to go in there, bro. Oh, no, I hope he can get out. No, I don't think you should go in there. I think you should come back out, my bro. Oh, no.

- Is he gonna drown? Oh, wait, he's right back.

- He probably doesn't like the water.

- Yeah, call a snake--

- Did it die?

- No, he came out of the pool.

- Where is he going?

- It's by the side of the pool.

- Oh.

- Romy, that'll do. Stay close to me.
