On October 24th, 2025, a family in Sippy Downs, Australia experienced a shocking incident during their pizza night. After enjoying their takeout meal, they left the empty pizza box sitting inside their home, unaware of the danger that lurked within.
Moments later, a red-bellied black snake, a highly venomous reptile, emerged from the outdoors and made its way into the pizza box. Fortunately, a family member spotted the snake before anyone picked up the box, and they immediately called in a professional snake catcher, Daniel Busstra, to safely remove the reptile.
According to Busstra, the snake, while not the largest he had encountered, was in excellent health. He emphasized the importance of keeping such venomous snakes out of homes, as they can pose a serious threat to human safety.
