Pictured: Snake gets head stuck in drink can

An Australian woman has rescued a venomous snake after its head became stuck in a energy drink can.

Olivia Dykstra, from Tasmania, discovered the lowland copperhead entangled with a Rockstar-branded beverage container.

She was able to safely free the reptile without getting bitten and, after the encounter, posted a photo on social media.

“Copperheads have tiny heads and their scales only go one way so they can’t back out,” she wrote in a comment under the post.

Lowland copperheads are common in Australia, southern Victoria, Tasmania. They have a toxic bite that can cause death unless treated.

New York-based Rockstar is considered the world’s third largest energy drinks brand, behind Red Bull and Monster.
