A snake wrangle made light work of catching this little serpent that was scaring a family in their bathroom.

The aggressive creature - a common rat snake - appeared while the husband was taking a shower in Sakhon Nakhon, Thailand, on April 12.

He shrieked and ran outside to call the emergency services, who sent the local animal handlers to catch the intruder.

First person view (FPV) footage from the rescue worker's helmet shows him snaring the rat snake while it tries to slither away up the wall. The snake was captured and released back into the wild.

Filmer Surasak said: 'These little snakes are fighters but they're not harmful to humans. They are venomous but only for the small rodents that they eat.'
