Daniella Francesa Vizzini was watching her daughter as she played in a kiddie pool in Melbourne, when a brown snaked popped up near her baby.
Vizzini immediately grabbed her daughter out of the pool.
A local snake catcher confirmed that it looked like the highly venomous brown snake. The catcher also said that the snake seemed as if it was preparing to strike.
