Later , his mother discovered the eggs had think up seven eastern brown snakes — only the second most vicious snakes on Earth . fortuitously , nobody was bitten , and the snakes have since been released in the wild .
Via BBC :
The reptiles were only 12 - 15 centimeter long , grant to Trish Prendergast of North Queensland Wildlife Care , who released the serpent .
“ Their fangs are only a few millimeter long at that years , so they probably could n’t break the skin , but they ’re just as venomous as full - produce snakes , ” she told the Associated Press newsworthiness agency .
