Telstra workers call in for help after discovering scaly surprise
A snake catcher has saved Telstra workers from a scary surprise hiding inside one of their pits in South Australia.
Barossa Reptile Service crews were called to Lewiston, about 45 kilometres north of Adelaide, where a cold eastern brown was snuggled underneath some cables.
"The Telstra fellas weren't keen on working on this pit for some reason," the snake catchers said in a social media post.
