An unwelcome visitor

The latest 'forklift service' video is not for the faint-hearted.

A Sunshine Coast snake catcher pulled off a tricky job removing a carpet python which was coiled up inside a forklift at a building supplies business near Brisbane, Australia.

Luke Huntley gently prodded the snake with a screwdriver to encourage the animal out of a spot underneath the control panel before pulling the snake out.

"It was in a tricky spot but thankfully the whole thing went very smoothly and I got the little squishy out absolutely fine," Huntley says in a Facebook post.
