Deadly snake knows iconic Australian fashion when she sees it; hides in an Ugg boot



Ugg boots are pretty good for fetching Starbucks in. To hell with their bad rap for being a staple of the "basic girl" wardrobe. They're cosy and warm, and you can bet snakes think so too.

Like this guy — an eastern brown snake, who huddled itself into the wool-lined footwear belonging to a woman in the Australian city of Adelaide.

The folks at Snake Catchers Adelaide posted a picture of it on their Facebook page Wednesday, after they helped to remove the snake from the boot.

Apparently the snake had disappeared into the iconically ugly Aussie shoe on a particularly chilly day, after encountering the shoe's owner.

"It saw her and shot into her Ugg boot," said Snake Catchers Adelaide manager Rolly Burrell. "We picked up the shoe, tipped it out and dropped it into the bag. It was pretty easy to do."
