The scary video shows the snake going for a quick swim in the pool before running quickly under the fence and escaping from the yard and back into the bushes.

While the Eastern Brown Snake thrives only in Australia, the RSPCA Wildlife Association has published tips on its website on what to do if a snake finds its way into your yard.

He says: “If you come across a native snake in your garden or in the wild, leave it undisturbed. You do not need to contact anyone unless the snake appears to be injured.

If you find a non-native species of snake, keep your distance and call our advice line or the advice line of the respective structure of your country “.
