Maybe it did climb in there, because the fridge was left open, and maybe, when the owner of the fridge saw the snake, he/she was about to stick an egg in there, so being careful stuck the egg on the lower shelf and backer off ?????????????
Now, don't tell me snakes can't climb, there used to be a Python living in the rafters of the old Whim Creek Hotel in the North West, way back in the Rip Roarin days of the late 60's .

You'd be either brave or silly to bother putting the egg in there after seeing a poisonous snake. :)
The fridge door would have had to have been open for an age. Snakes don't make a beeline for somewhere, they explore extensively before settling in.
My almost 3 metre Python loves climbing up her branch. I had a baby Bredli who escaped her enclosure at the back of the house and two days later I found her up on the kitchen widow sill at the front of the house. Have no idea how she managed to get up there.
The story says the snake handler said the snake was lethargic, so must have been alive. Actually, If the snake did get in the fridge while the door was open, that would probably be the place it would end up in, being the warmest part of the fridge. Who know's, snakes get into some pretty weird places.

Remember moving my boys furniture from Palmerston out to Humpty Doo, loaded it all on the ute for the 20 minute drive out to the new place. Moved everything in except the washing machine while we had a break, picked it up & while going through the door a bl$@dy great brown snake came out of the control panel next to my hand. Needless to say I dropped the machine with the young bloke asking why!! He moved faster than me when he found out.

Our local vet told me a few years ago he had had a wildlife carer bring in a brown snake just big enough to get it's head stuck in a coke can. Under law he couldn't kill it, so put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes so it went into hibernation and was very lethargic. He then removed the can off the snake. Beyond me.
