Queensland hotel evicts snake hiding in men's toilets – video

Sunshine Coast snake catcher Richie Gilbert was called in to evict an unwanted guest from the men's toilets at the Waterfront hotel in Maroochydore. While the reptile, curled up beneath the urinal, turned out to be a 'completely harmless' common tree snake, Gilbert says 'it would still give you a bit of a fright if it came out and nipped you while you were doing your business'. The cool tiles of bathrooms provide the perfect place for snakes to escape the summer heat, and Gilbert recommends Queenslanders keep their doors closed
