At first glance it looks like a bit of piping in a bathroom.
But this bath tap actually has a brown snake curled around it.
And while the venomous critter didn't hang around long it did cause more problems., according to the snake catch who was called one evening to help.
Hodgsons Snakes said on Facebook the creature managed to get into the bathtub after entering the house via an open door in Satwell, Victoria.
Chillingly, it then disappeared under the bath via a hole.
However, the homeowners can rest easy as the post said the hole in the bathroom was secured so the snake couldn't get back inside, but it can escape from under the house.
It was a tough battle to extract this potentially deadly snake from its hiding place in a garden retaining wall in Ipswich, Queensland, according to N&S Snake Catchers.
"It took us over two hours to get him out," the snake catcher wrote on Facebook.
"Just a little risking standing at the height of the retaining wall with at eastern brown, not much room to move and grabbing the snake."
But they said the animal was safely removed.
Eastern browns, though non-aggressive like all snakes, are one of the most venomous in the world.
A Queensland resident is lucky they looked in their toilet before using it after a large python slithered into a young family's loo.
The catcher believes it came in through an open window above the toilet.
Lucas' Reptile Rescue attempted to pull the snake out last Sunday night but he was stuck in the s-bend.
After two snake catchers made two attempts to get the python out of the toilet, the snake eventually crawled back out the window after three days.
The young family in St Lucia in Brisbane's south had to use a public toilet while they waited for the snake to leave the home.
The python was given the name Tina and hasn't returned to the loo.
The owner of this beautiful pink closet was shocked to find somebody else also enjoyed their fashion sense.
This haute-couture herptile decided to make itself at home in a closet in Benowa on the Gold Coast, much to the dismay of the home's tenant.
Snake Catchers Brisbane and Gold Coast posted the photo on their Facebook page, confirming that snake catcher Janelle had been able to relocate the coastal carpet python successfully.
"Talk about a fashion emergency," they wrote.
A carpet python was rescued from a clothesline reel in Helensvale on the Gold Coast.
Hudson Snake Catching got the call-out to the home overnight.
Snake catcher Tom said it was the weirdest spot they'd rescued a carpet python from this season.
Snake season has been up and down on the Gold Coast due to intermittent rain, but Tom said recent wet weather had them answering a consistent 10 calls a day.
"We've done nearly four times the amount of eastern browns now than we did all last year," he said.
A snake was spotted in these bushes on Harris Road in Elliminyt, near Colac in Victoria, this morning.

A NSW-based snake catcher has urgently warned pet owners to keep a close eye on their dogs over spring as hot weather increases encounters with potentially deadly snakes.
Illawarra Snake Catchers took to Facebook to share a harrowing photo of a red-bellied black snake less than a metre away from a client's dacshund.
"Just a warning to everyone. We have seen a number of dogs bitten in the last couple of days," the snake catcher warned.
"Please keep an eye on your pets. Investigate any strange barking or behaviours. Dogs will often smell them out.
"Pay attention if the dog keeps going to the same areas. This was a red belly we got in Avondale today. One very lucky puppy sleeping away while the snake got some sun."
A one-inch hole at the bottom of a kitchen island cabinet was enough for a snake to get in on the Sunshine Coast.
Snake Rescue Sunny Coast posted about the mission to extract the snake on its Facebook page.
"This was the only entrance and exit, making it impossible to get him without damaging the cabinet," the snake catcher wrote on Facebook.
Improvising, the snake catchers rigged up a box trap comprised of things lying around the house. The snake did emerge and was caught - four days later.
Like most snakes, yellow-faced whip snakes are not aggressive. They are venomous, but not considered overly dangerous for most people.
Still, if you're bitten, you should seek medical assistance. And if you spot one in and around your home, contact a professional to remove it.
No points for spotting this snake!
