Two snakes were discovered entwined in a mating ritual behind a wall clock.
The pair of brown tree snakes, a venomous species that can reach up to seven feet in length, were found slithering behind the clock inside a home.
A video captured by Zachery, a snake catcher who operates Zachery’s Snake and Reptile Relocation, shows him cautiously approaching the wall.

As Zachery carefully slides the clock to the side, one of the snakes becomes visible, writhing against the wall.
Gently continuing to move the clock, he uncovers a second snake, revealing the pair engaging in mating behavior.
When fully extended, the snakes appear much longer than the clock they were hidden behind.
This unusual encounter occurred earlier this week in Queensland, Australia, according to Need To Know.
Zachery successfully managed to remove the snakes and release them back into their natural habitat.
He later shared the video online, commenting: “A ‘timely’ reminder that as the weather heats up, snakes are on the move and searching for ‘luv’.
This pair of brown tree snakes have now been safely returned to the bush.”
