As waves crashed and barefoot beachgoers passed by, a fierce battle was waged.
In the video, shared by Snake Catcher Dan, two writhing reptiles were filmed "having a scrap" on a beach in Mudjimba, in the Sunshine Coast this week, while barefoot beachgoers walked by.
Daniel Busstra told 9news.com.au the sight is unusual because it comes weeks before snake season traditionally begins, in September.As waves crashed and barefoot beachgoers passed by, the two snakes writhed, locked in a fierce battle."They don't look at the date, they go off temperatures."The stronger of the two will win the battle by proving it's the strongest with pushing the other snake's head down and get the chance to mate with the female.
"The weaker one will run off to look for another female. These battles can go on for over an hour sometimes."Busstra said he's had a surprising influx of snake removal callouts, despite Australia being in the midst of winter. "Then days like today are very quiet because it is still kind of cold when the sun's not out."
Billy Collett, operations manager at the Australian Reptile Park on NSW's Central Coast, said the increased callouts are "a phenomenon rarely seen at this time of year" - and have been reported across the border too.
