More often than not, kids digging in these sand tanks in playgrounds and schools find things like rocks, lost toys or animal poop, right? Not in Australia! That's because, according to Peter Farquhar of Business Insider, a child playing in the sand at a school in the town of Laurieton near New South Wales on the east coast has dug up no fewer than 12 snake eggs.

What's worse is that, after school staff were alerted by the child, they contacted experts and found that it was possibly Pseudonaja textilis snake eggs - commonly known in Australia as the "brown snake" - one of the most poisonous ones that exist on the planet!

But the thing didn't stop at 12 little eggs. A team of volunteers searched the sand tank and found that there were seven nests and a total of 43 eggs. Preliminary analysis indicated that puppies would probably hatch within two weeks, which is quite frightening, considering that, as youngsters, these reptiles can take dangerous "bites" - which would surely send a child straight to the hospital.

One of the experts who helped deal with the situation explained that there is a possibility that all the eggs were laid by a single snake and said parents don't have to worry - um, okay! - once the nests have been removed and taken to safety, and as far as it has been found, there is no brown snake infestation in the area.
