Dad-of-two Vincent Price sprung into action just before 10am on Saturday after his wife spotted the snake slithering through their house as the pair watched TV in their Eileen Court home in Kensington Grove - in southeast Queensland's Lockyer Valley. Mr Price, aged in his 60s, was an experienced snake handler and had owned a number of pet pythons so immediately grabbed the reptile. While the initial capture went well, it's understood tragedy struck when Mr Price tried to release the eastern brown, the world's second most venomous snake, back into the wild. Father of two Vincent Price was killed by an eastern brown snake (above) on Saturday after his wife spotted it inside their Queensland home 'That's when it must of turned around and bit him, he got in the car. And came straight home and collapsed inside,' neighbour Michelle Vedredi told the Courier Mail. 'His wife rang triple-0 did CPR. But it was too late. Ambos came they tried CPR too.' Ms Vedredi said another neighbour told her they'd heard the man's wife 'screaming through the fence for help before ambulances got there'. Neighbours in Eileen Court reported seeing a number of deadly brown snakes in the area with one claiming to have seen four in recent weeks. Eastern brown snakes are the second-most dangerous venomous snake in the world and are known to be very aggressive. Venom from the snake can kill a person in half an hour with the effects including paralysis, uncontrollable bleeding and breathing difficulties. There has been an increase in snake sightings in Australia as the country faces its third consecutive La Nina weather system. Neighbours said they'd seen an increased amount of brown snakes around Lockyer Valley (above) in the weeks before the attack One of Mr Price's neighbours said they saw four brown snakes before he was attacked (pictured, the Price's street) Lockyer Valley snake catcher Chris Jennings told Daily Mail Australia land development in the area meant the natural habitat of snakes was disrupted, causing them to seek shelter elsewhere. He said recent hot weather had also contributed to snakes looking for shelter, including in people's homes. However, he stressed it was more important to be educated about snakes than fearful of them. 'Snakes don't actually want to attack people,' he said. 'The best thing people can do is to is learn about the snakes in their area and get first-aid training'. The last reported fatality in Queensland was in November after a woman in her 50s was bitten in North Burnett. Queensland Police confirmed a report would be prepared for the coroner.
