We get funnel webs coming inside the house when it's mating season and brown snakes every so often (though I learnt that if you have blue tongue and frill necked lizards nesting near your house you dont get snakes because they eat the snake eggs). Some bright spark in parliament actually made it illegal to kill snakes if you find them near your house (apparently snakes are a protected species...), so most people permanantly 'relocate' them. With a shovel.

Last year a four or five year old found a pile of brown snake eggs while at prep, and brought them home. He put them in sealed container, where they actually hatched in his cupboard. His mother discovered them and freaked out completely. Luckily the snakes couldn't get out of the container, and it was clear so she could actually see what they were.
