Newcastle woman Lisa Kournelis has been driving around with a deadly snake in her car for about six weeks. It's not unheard of for snakes to make their way into vehicles, but it is highly unusual for them to linger so long. So why is this one still there?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Newcastle woman Lisa Kournelis has been driving her car around for more than a month even though she knows a red-bellied black snake is living inside.

    Since discovering the reptile on the back seat of her ute last month, Ms Kournelis has called in five different snake catchers.

    Ms Kournelis has taken the advice of a snake catcher and has been wearing woollen pants and other protective gear when driving.

    Mr Collett said red-bellied black snakes were a highly venomous species, although they have never been responsible for a fatality in Australia.

    Garry van Dijk manages a car repair business in the Hunter and is no stranger to pulling vehicles apart to locate unwelcome critters.

    Ms Kournelis said she was looking at removing the seats and other parts of her car to locate and capture the snake.
