A deadly tiger snake was caught in a trap meant for a mouse in what is considered a most bizarre animal tale.

Anthony Parker, from the small town of Cascade in Western Australia, returned home from work to find the snake wriggling in a trap.

“I came home from work at about 5pm, had a coffee and had a look at a few things on the internet and as I was sitting there I just heard the mouse-trap do snap,” he told Western Australia Today.

“I turned around, had a quick look and literally jumped off my stool because there was a snake about three metres away from me in the mouse trap.

“It was just trying to escape by trying to bite the trap off I think; I think it may have thought the trap was alive by trying to get it off.”

 

Mr Parker added that he and his family went away for a weekend and believes the mice inside his house attracted the snake inside.

He explained the he put the reptile “out of its misery” as it was “highly distressed”.
