Key details

When his colleague arrived, he discovered 40 red-bellied black snakes - four of which gave birth to more live young once he had placed them in a removal bag.

Red-bellied black snakes are one of the most common venomous species in Australia but have not caused any human deaths on record.

The five adult and 97 baby snakes are currently under quarantine and will be released into a national park once the weather cools.
