AFP officers have lawfully removed a brown snake from its Adelaide Airport office, prompting calls from a snake catcher to be on the look-out for snakes with the weather finally warming up.
The duty sergeant put the snake through an X-ray machine
"While waiting for the catcher to arrive, the duty sergeant took this X-ray of the box to confirm the snake was safely contained," the post reads. "It doesn't really matter where you live, the chances are you could find one, which is scary sometimes for people."
