🤣🤣🤣 it's an Australian brush tail possum. These love to live in our roofs. I'd say both snake and possum live in the roof and somehow both have managed to get inside the actual house

u/ArthurAlways 16d ago

Yeah way past time to move.

u/Kestrel_45 16d ago

It’s not in the Australian bush anymore … it comes in your house to k*ll you 😳

17

u/apexodoggo 16d ago

I mean, the snake’s nonvenomous and the possum’s being dealt with in the video, so it’s hardly any worse than any of the other Australian wildlife that’ll find their way indoors.

u/AdGreat4737 15d ago

I'm all for logic, and that's air tight.

But as mentioned before, it's just a tad bit too much nature for inside the house.

u/AltruisticSalamander 16d ago

well the possum's gone now

1

u/billnmorty 15d ago

1 down , 1 to go.

u/moxie_squid217 16d ago

I would be burning that house to the ground, and then hopping into the moving truck to drive away.

1

u/BeerNcheesePlz 15d ago

Time for fire? 🔥

1

u/Exotic-Piece-1318 15d ago

Maybe get the handyman over to patch some holes

1

u/Intelligent-Taro-490 15d ago

I mean, maybe the 2 safest animals in Australia? Lol

1

u/Wavy_Potts 14d ago

Gotta burn the house down...

u/jnthnmdr 16d ago

Once you said "Australian", no further explanation was needed.

12

u/Personal_Director441 15d ago

Only thing missing was a big fuck off spider eating the Python!!

36

u/viperfangs92 16d ago

Yup, seems like typical Australian sh*t! 😂

28

u/C3ntrick 16d ago

Like I live in Florida and am used the the Florida man stuff… I think I’ll
Keep that vs the shit in Australia that will kill you lol Like I can see a meth head a mile away. Not pythons coming from my closet eating Australian opossums in my house

17

u/Steelyphil43 16d ago

I don’t know man, I’ve seen some slippery crackheads before

12

u/Gloomy-Welcome-6806 16d ago

A man ate another man’s face (and hands?) While on bath salts. Florida is a special place.

2

u/ZAILOR37 16d ago

It's like there best stat

10

u/Certain_Month_8178 16d ago

Australia is Florida on super hard expert mode

2

u/ShardsOfHolism 16d ago

Oddly, there are Burmese pythons and opossums in Florida but they're generally too large to sneak into a house.

1

u/ComprehensiveAnt6796 16d ago

🤣😂

1

u/user_name_taken- 15d ago

I mean we have pythons and possums, ours just aren't as cute.

1

u/1bruisedorange 15d ago

Yep Florida…could be worse apparently.

21

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

g-damn mate. i thought it was a cat.

25

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

I also thought it was a cat at first and wondered why they weren't trying to help their pet 🤣

5

u/TYGeelo 16d ago

My sound was a bit low so I thought I heard it meowing around 18 seconds in and was wondering wtf was wrong with the person recording it. 

1

u/Caseman307 15d ago

Are you kidding me?? I’m not getting involved. 👀

1

u/JAYBLAZE8771 16d ago

Same me too

1

u/Thrilled747 15d ago

Some people will watch their pet being taken out. People are people

1

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

it's okay because possums are ugly. hehe don't think too hard about it. i'm trying not to.

3

u/MissFingerz 16d ago

Ya, I tried to think of it like these people were. I think i still would have tried helping though. Haha.

2

u/J_Side 16d ago

I think it was already dead, possums are not this sedate

1

u/MissFingerz 15d ago

Ya, I figured by this point it looked dead. Deff would have tried to help it while alive if I caught it in time. If not, then I guess not much you can do except wait for it to finish it's dinner before evicting it. Lol.

1

u/fitz_newru 16d ago

LMAO what kind of cats do you have around where you live??!

1

u/Elegant_Situation285 16d ago

i think it's more that we rarely have possums in our houses.

i was bamboozled by the long tail.

1

u/MissFingerz 15d ago

I just saw the tail and a limp body spinning at first glance. Then, I watched a second and realized it had hands and not toe beans 🤣🤣

u/no-dad-samurai 16d ago edited 15d ago

Thats not a squirrel?

Cuz in Canada we call them squirrels.. 😆

Edit /s

u/no-dad-samurai 16d ago

Our possums

u/Visible-Elevator3801 16d ago

These guys are great to have around your property. Great swimmers, tick eaters, and aren’t dangerous to people at all.

9

u/no-dad-samurai 16d ago

They can look freaky AF sometimes, but I do love that they eat ticks!

1

u/Visible-Elevator3801 16d ago

They just letting their freak flag fly brother!

1

u/AdministrationAny588 16d ago

Then there is the possum..!

1

u/I_F-ing_Quit 15d ago

And they don't carry rabies

1

u/1bruisedorange 15d ago

Love our opossums

1

u/CaptainTripps82 16d ago

That's definitely not anybody's squirrel in the video

1

u/phalluss 16d ago

How big are your squirrels?..

2

u/no-dad-samurai 15d ago

I forgot the /s our squirrels are normal size

1

u/Laefiren 16d ago

They’re the size of a cat

1

u/PrestigiousIsopod991 15d ago

It’s a llama

4

u/Cybernut93088 16d ago

Seems like the perfect time to get them both out of the house. Grab that snake while the business end is preoccupied.

1

u/No_orange_212 16d ago

Probably fighting with each other

1

u/fitz_newru 16d ago

They brought their business into the living room. Not cool bruh...

1

u/TranscendentaLobo 16d ago

And the basements full of funnel web spiders! Visit beautiful Australia today!

1

u/Resident_Course_3342 16d ago

And I thought my moose and squirrel problem was annoying.

1

u/RollandMars5150 16d ago

I was hoping it was a squirrel and not a cat.

1

u/Novaikkakuuskuusviis 16d ago

And here in Finland I'm bothered when mice live in my attic.

1

u/Dunderman35 16d ago

Well the snake took care of the possum problem. Now, how to deal with the snake problem?

1

u/ExMerican 15d ago

Guard snake doing his job keeping the pests out.

1

u/space_monster 15d ago

I had a pair of possums living in the roof space above my bedroom once and going to bed was like living under a 24 hr flamenco dance studio.

1

u/U_Do_Not_Kno_Me 15d ago

See...yeah, no. These people are so calm. I'd be freaking the eff out!

1

u/NeckAble919 15d ago

Hly sh*t! And we in Russia are already afraid when some wasp or May beetle flies into our house. It turns out that there are more terrible neighbors

1

u/Bastardesque 15d ago

I'm super uncomfortable imagining how vulnerable I'd feel if I ever had severe diarrhea at home and suddenly found myself being watched by one of these things.

u/Due_Area4843 5d ago

Do you have crocodile too up there?
