The woman called for help to remove the tiger snake from her suburban home in Melbourne, Victoria.

Snake catcher Barry Goldsmith said the reptile entered through an open door before curling up among the decorations.

Tiger snakes, found along Australia's coast, are highly venomous.
虎蛇多出现在澳大利亚海岸，并且有剧毒。
Mr Goldsmith said the woman "reacted quite well" after making the discovery. "She left the room, put a towel down as a door jam and came and rang me," he told the BBC.
戈德史密斯先生称，该女子在发现该毒蛇后“反应相当好”。“她离开了房间，铺上毛巾把门堵上，然后给我打了电话。”他向英国广播公司透露。
The snake was released back into the wild. The species is protected in most Australian states.
这条毒蛇最终被放回野外。该物种在澳大利亚大多数州都会受到保护。
Mr Goldsmith said he was used to finding snakes in unusual places. "I've found them in ugg boots, washing machines, dog kennels, cat boxes, toilets, kitchen cupboards and bookcases," he said.
戈德史密斯先生表示，他对在不寻常的地方发现蛇已经习惯了。“我在雪地靴、洗衣机、狗窝、猫箱、厕所、厨房的橱柜以及书架上都发现过蛇。”
