Year Old Son's Wardrobe Where He Hid Eggs Found In Garden


Narrow Escape: Australian Mom Finds SEVEN Deadly Snake In 3 

   Kyle Cumming, 3, stored the deadly eastern brown snake eggs in his bedroom, where his mother later found the hatchlings
Imagine opening your son's wardrobe and discovering 7 baby snakes; the 2nd most poisonous in the world?
This is what happened to Donna Sim who recently discovered a box of full of recently hatched eastern brown snakes – the world’s second deadliest species.
Kyle Cumming had found the snake eggs in his garden in Townsville in Queensland, Australia and was given a takeaway container to put them in.


Several weeks later his mother Donna Sim was shocked when she opened the bedroom wardrobe to discover the box full of recently hatched eastern brown snakes – the world’s second deadliest species.
Wildlife carers said Kyle was very fortunate as his mother discovered the eastern brown snake babies before he took them out to play or before the hatchlings had grown strong enough to push open the lid by themselves.
Ms Sim said she had given Kyle the takeaway container when he found the eggs but had not thought more of it until she found the snakes in her son’s bedroom.
‘I was pretty shocked, particularly because I don't like snakes,’ she said.
The family took the snakes to a local sanctuary where they were released back into the wild.
The eastern brown snake is widely considered the second most venomous snake in the world, behind the inland taipan.
They are common in Australia and are responsible for a majority of lethal snake bites recorded in the country.
