A snake sneakily climbed up to a deck to surprise a man relaxing out the back of his home in Gippsland, Victoria.

Malcolm’s surveillance camera recorded this video shows a snake slowly moving across his deck before suddenly hitting his feet. Malcolm reacts quickly, pushing his chair away from the snake.

Malcolm told Storyful that he believed it was a tiger snake on his deck. He wrote in a comment on his March 9 Reddit post that the snake didn’t bite him.

“It definitely went for me,” Malcolm’s comment said. “It jumped – which I have never seen before – and went over my Crocs!” Credit: Malcolm via Storyful
