Stuart McKenzie of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 responded to the home where a snake was found hiding out in a bedroom closet.
A video posted to Facebook shows McKenzie catch the snake by its tail and place it into a bag for relocation into the wild.
"This beautiful little snake snuck its way into the house and found a cozy little corner to snooze in, until Stu came along," the post said.

Dog's Microchip Connects Shelter to Home Far Away—But a Cruel Twist Awaits
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a dog named Baby Bear arrived at a West Virginia shelter earlier this summer, staff followed routine intake procedures and scanned his microchip. What they discovered has broken hearts among social-media users. In a post shared on Facebook on August 7 by the SPCA Florida, the shelter says that the microchip didn't link to a local owner—but instead traced back to SPCA Florida, a no-kill shelter in Lakeland. "Baby Bear was once adopted from SPCA Florida. But somehow … he ended up hundreds of miles away, in West Virginia, where he was turned into a shelter there—the team scanned his microchip, hoping to find his family. They called … but got no response," the post adds. "So the shelter called us, we knew we had to act fast—because, unlike SPCA Florida, that shelter didn't have a no-kill policy. Time was running out." From left: Baby Bear waits at the airfield next to a private plane; and stands with a volunteer sat on the floor. From left: Baby Bear waits at the airfield next to a private plane; and stands with a volunteer sat on the floor. SPCA Florida With almost no time left for Baby Bear, a hero pilot stepped in to help, donating his "time and wings" to save his life. Randa Richter, SPCA Florida humane programs and public media director, in Lakeland, Florida, told Newsweek that Baby Bear was once adopted from their shelter in 2022, and the staff still don't know how he arrived in West Virginia. "The shelter in West Virginia he was dumped at tried reaching out to the adopter that was listed on the microchip, as well as we tried reaching out to them; no answer or response from them. The shelter he was at reached out to us, since he was originally adopted from us," Richter said. "Of course, we will always take our animals back. I reached out to our supporters and animal lovers, Mark and Donna, who have flown many animals for us over the years. In fact, almost 500 animals they have transported for us." After explaining Baby Bear's situation to Mark and Donna, and asking if they could fly him to Florida on their private plane, they agreed, and the dog flew without fear or hesitation. Now the 10-year-old, laid-back, "gentle soul" is relaxing at the no-kill shelter, and ready for his "furever home." The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 5,100 views and 125 comments. One user, Valerie Barcellona, commented: "Someone adopt this beautiful boy, he needs someone to love, he has a sad story that needs to be turned into joy, fun and treats." Audrey Stager Stansbury added: "Thank you to the pilots who are the lifesaving link, and to Florida SPCA for standing by your pets."

This Australian Household Cleaner Will Be Your New BFF
Often in my research (and daily life), I come across cleaning products that claim to be multipurpose but really only work efficiently for one or two kinds of messes and stains — so I am used to approaching such declarations with skepticism. But every once in a while I stumble upon a truly effective, versatile product that warrants high praise, as is the case with Gumption cleaning paste. I first encountered this Australian household cleaning staple a few years ago when I first started dating my (Aussie) partner, Veronica, who would whip it out from under her sink to tackle everything from dirty, stained dishes to scrubbing the bathtub. There is really nothing this amazing product can't clean, and luckily for those of us who live stateside, it's available on Amazon for only $22. This cleaning wunderkind couldn't be easier to use. It comes as a concentrated powder that you apply to a damp cloth or sponge to quickly and efficiently wipe away stains and filth. It's formulated with natural abrasive particles that somehow are able to clean even the most intense of messes without causing scratches or damage. Like most Australians, Veronica swears by it for just about everything but is particularly enthusiastic about Gumption's dish-cleaning prowess. She says, 'It works like magic, there is nothing it cannot remove. It makes stainless steel shiny and removes all food that might be very tough to clean and stuck. It essentially exfoliates everything away — your pots and pans will be sparkling clean.' She does not, however, recommend using it on items with non-stick coating, as it is slightly abrasive. This international cleaning product has flown under the radar in the U.S., but it's long overdue for its moment in the sun. Those who have tried it have instantly fallen under its spell, myself included, and I have a good feeling it'll make a convert out of you posthaste if you give it a chance. Your house will be gleaming before you know it. Get it from Amazon for $22.70.
