A snake catcher was challenged on March 13 by a particularly swift lace monitor that was bothering guests at a tourist park in the Diddillibah, Queensland.

In a video published on Wednesday, snake catcher Stuart McKenzie is seen diving into tall grass and grabbing the tail of a goanna.

“He was being fed by some of the people holidaying in the villas and started adventuring up onto peoples balcony looking for more food,” McKenzie wrote on Facebook. “Best not to feed wildlife!” Credit: The Snake Catcher 24/7 – Sunshine Coast via Storyful
