As the temperatures rise, so does the prevalence of snakes across Queensland, with several scary encounters already recorded.

Brisbane snake catcher David Farrimond said as female snake eggs continue to hatch, Queenslanders might get baby snakes accompanied by their parents slithering through their backyard.

On Wednesday, Mr Farrimond was called to a home in Ascot where a man had woken to find a snake slithering across his face while he lay in bed. The carpet python was removed from the house and the man's son relocated it about 150 metres away.

But, two nights later the same snake returned and gave the man another scary awakening. The reptile, named Bruce by the Ascot resident, was again removed and Mr Farrimond took it several kilometres away.
