An Australian man was left shocked after two huge snakes crashed through his kitchen ceiling.

The carpet snakes slithered away to the bedroom and living room after tumbling onto the floor of David Tait's house in north Brisbane.

Mr Tait said he had seen snakes around his home before, but never in the house.

Snake catcher Steven Brown told the Today show the two male snakes were "some of the biggest and fattest" he had ever seen.

A third snake has not been located yet.

Mr Tait told the Today show: "We have a lot of bush around here so you do see snakes, but I’d never seen snakes of that size."

The snakes measured 2.8 metres and 2.5 metres long, reportedly weighting 22 kilograms between them.
