A snake catcher has shared horrific footage of a python attacking a brown snake as it tries to eat a rat.

A snake catcher has shared photos of the biggest deadly eastern brown snake he’s “ever seen”.

He said the monster serpent was more than two metres long and as “thick and healthy” as a coke can.

“Biggest eastern brown snake I have ever seen,” Stuart McKenzie, who runs Queensland Snake wrangling business Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 wrote on Facebook yesterday.

Mr McKenzie said his new business manager, Donnie, had managed to capture the “heavy” snake from a home the Sunshine Coast yesterday.

“It’s been a day of brown snakes that’s for sure. But it’s also the day we relocated the biggest Brown snake I have ever seen,” Mr McKenzie wrote.

“A massive thanks to Donnie for catching and relocating this giant from a home in the Beerwah/Mooloolah region.

“We predict this snake to be well over two meters and nearly as thick as a coke can! It was heavy to hold as well! So thick and so healthy. Wow! What a snake and what a day! Yeowww!”

The massive snake has since been moved from the Queensland home.

Eastern brown snakes are considered one of the most deadly snakes in the world, next to the Australian inland taipan.

The species have an average adult size of about 1.5m, and according to the Australian Museum, the largest reliably measured specimen was 2.013m.

“Yikes! We’ve seen some sizeable browns on our farm but that one makes them look like babies,” one woman commented on the post.

“Holy sheesh that’s a whopper,” another said.

“That is a beast,” another said.

“Snake of the decade,” another said.
