A Sydney mother has filmed a terrifying ordeal in which she found an alert and aggressive snake in her daughter's bedroom.
Mother Meg sent the video to Sydney radio station 2GB after discovering the 1m golden-crowned snake curled up among toys in her daughter's bedroom, which she found when she was tidying it up.
"It was a surprise visitor on a Friday night," Meg told 2GB on Monday.

Meg said she nearly picked the snake up, initially thinking it was a shoelace. She also revealed her daughter had friends around earlier in the afternoon.
