Mum finds SEVEN deadly vipers in her three-year-old son's wardrobe

A three-year-old boy had a lucky escape after his mother found a box of seven deadly snakes in his wardrobe. Kyle  had found the snake eggs in his garden in Townsville in Queensland, Australia and was given a takeaway container to put them in.

Several weeks later his mother Donna Sim was shocked when she opened the bedroom wardrobe to discover the box full of recently hatched eastern brown snakes – the world’s second deadliest. Ms Sim said she had given Kyle the takeaway container when he found the eggs but had not thought more of it until she found the snakes in her son’s bedroom.

‘I was pretty shocked, particularly because I don't like snakes,’ she told the Townsville Bulletin. The family took the snakes to a local sanctuary where they were released back into the wild. He's extremely lucky his mother found them on time.
