Stuart McKenzie, owner of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, posted a video of the four-foot-long snake and the rescue on Facebook, revealing the venomous serpent curled up beneath the kids' toys.

The snake in Kournelis' car kept setting off her car alarm, so she knew it was still living inside the vehicle. "So just random times from about 11 o'clock in the morning, my car alarm will go off.

The red-bellied black snake was first described and named by English naturalist George Shaw in the 1794 book, 'Zoology of New Holland' as Coluber Porphyriacus.

Red-bellied black snakes are mostly seen on the east coast of Australia and — though venomous — are typically shy, only lashing out when they are harassed, according to the Australian Museum.

But to the dedicated employees of the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center, it was a memorable moment when a California red-sided garter snake unexpectedly gave birth to a nest of 60 snakelets.
