A handyman at The Gap in Brisbane's inner west got more than a handful of nails when he went to reach into his toolbox on Sunday. Brisbane North Snake Catchers and Relocation owner Steve Brown said he was called out by the startled resident after they found the 1m-plus reptile curled up snugly in the toolbox. "He went into his shed on Sunday (January 31) and went to go grab his toolbox only to find the Coastal Carpet Python (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) curled up inside,'' Mr Brown said.
