Snake Caught in Bike Chain | Australia News
Description
A woman riding the Northern Rivers Rail Trail had a terrifying encounter when an eastern brown snake got tangled in her bike chain—and bit her thigh. Bystanders and police helped snake rescuer Sarah Mailey safely remove the snake, which was too injured to survive. Sarah warns that even in cooler weather, snakes can be active and hard to spot, urging trail riders to carry compression bandages and know first aid. Eastern browns aren’t aggressive, but they’ll defend themselves if threatened—so stay alert and watch where you’re going.
