FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Queensland couple had the fright of their life after discovering a noise they mistook for a flat tyre was in fact a venomous snake that had climbed into a car wheel.
Ian and Kay Fleischfresser were driving home yesterday afternoon from a friend’s house in Kingaroy, a small town in the state’s southeast, when they noticed an unusual sound coming from their front passenger side wheel.
They pulled over, expecting to see a flat tyre, but instead found a red-bellied black snake wriggling inside the hubcap.
“As we made a left hand turn I heard a bang, bang, banging noise and I assumed the tyre was falling to pieces,” Mr Fleischfresser told ninemsn.
“I wasn’t prepared to put my hand in there because it was the head end stuck in the wheel, and it was still moving.”
Mr Fleischfresser, 59, then managed to pull the snake, which he estimated to be about 70cm long, out of the wheel using a lever.
But by the time he rescued the slithering reptile it had died. Its continued wriggling inside the wheel may have been involuntary muscle spasms, said Mr Fleischfresser, adding he and his wife were standing next to the front passenger side wheel just minutes before.
Reptile keeper Billy Collett from the Australian Reptile Park said that while there have been no recorded fatalities from red-bellied black snakes, they are still very dangerous.
“Red-bellied black snakes have a necrotic venom, so it’s more likely to eat away tissue,” he told ninemsn.
“If you got bitten on the hand, you could lose a finger or two — it could make you pretty crook.”
Mr Collett said snakes commonly climb into wheels and engine bays of parked cars because they are warm, dark and quiet.
