A FAMILY were left horrified after they found a deadly animal in their daughter's bed - but not everyone would be able to spot it.
They got the fright of their lives when they discovered the beast inside their home in Queensland, Australia.
The family had no idea that the red-bellied-black snake had entered the bedroom through the door.
Snake wrangler Bryce Lockett, from Snake Catchers Brisbane and Gold Coast, shared the terrifying video on Facebook.
The video shows Bryce picking up the deadly snake and placing it in a bag to be relocated away from the home.

While another wrote: "My worst nightmare."
A third added: "Oh my god. Hope it wasn't there when the child was asleep"

A snake removal service was called to the home after the creature was found.
The four-foot snake was captured and relocated back where it belongs in nearby bushland.
At the time, the snake catcher said: “Hooked this Red Belly Black off the top of a shoe shelf yesterday straight into the bag, spun the bag, clipped it and brought it home for release."
