The venomous snake was captured near a large creek system, which is a highly popular environment as the species thrive in a moist habitat.

"It's abnormally large for this type of snake," a spokesman from Snake Catchers Brisbane told nine.com.au.

"It's currently breeding season for snakes, so the big male was likely looking for females," he said.

There are no recorded human deaths from red-bellied black snake, although bites can cause bleeding, swelling, nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, sweating, local or general muscle pain and weakness.
