Relocated 2 tiger snakes today 🐍

One was spotted by a very switched on 4 year old who alerted his parents in the backyard, a great reminder to always listen to your kids!

Even with the cooler weather, snakes are still active. Stay aware and give them space.

Snakes don’t disappear in winter… they just hide better.

As the cooler weather creeps in, snakes start looking for a warm place to settle. And no, they don’t hibernate, they go into brumation.

That means on warmer days, you can still see them out basking before they head back to their hiding spot.

Now’s the time to make your yard less inviting:
• Keep grass short
• Clear piles of wood, tin & debris
• Tidy anything sitting on the ground
• Check for gaps around sheds & the house
• Keep rodents under control

If you see one, don’t risk it — we’re available 24/7 for safe removal, and always happy to give advice too - 0499 881 474

“But it’s an Eastern Brown… aren’t they one of the most deadly?!”

I hear this all the time.

Yes, Eastern Brown Snake venom is highly toxic.

But here’s the part people miss…

Australia has some of the most venomous snakes in the world, yet one of the lowest snake bite death rates.

That’s thanks to antivenom, fast medical care, and good first aid.

Most bites happen when people:
• Step on them
• Try to handle them
• Or don’t give them space

Snakes don’t want anything to do with you.

And interestingly, snake venom has helped create medications we use every day.

Respect over fear.

This poor snake would have been terrified!

As you can see, it’s actively trying to avoid people — which is nearly impossible in a crowded venue.

Snakes don’t chase people. What looks like “chasing” is almost always a snake trying to escape to the nearest cover.

When cornered, stressed, or blocked from escape, that’s when bites happen.

Education reduces fear — and fear is what can escalates situations like this.

The last couple weeks have been intense. I’ve attended snakes in rat traps, inside homes, in playgrounds and caught in netting — and sadly, a child and a dog bitten in separate incidents. Thankfully both were dry bites, but still incredibly frightening for those involved.

One snake entered a home simply because a back door was left open while watering a small courtyard.

Snakes can end up where we least expect them. Small habits like closing doors, keeping yards clean and tidy and monitoring rodent traps really do make a difference.

If you see a snake, calmly move children and pets away, keep your distance, keep eyes on the snake where possible, and call a licensed snake catcher- 0499 881 474.

On a lighter note, check out this cute echidna I spotted while out on a bush walk 🦔💛

🌡️ 42°C Heat 🌡️

With extreme temperatures, snakes seek cool shelter to escape the heat. This can include inside houses, garages, sheds, and shaded concrete areas.

They’re not coming toward people — they’re simply trying to stay cool.

Please:
• Keep garage and shed doors closed
• Be aware around shaded areas
• Keep pets and children away
• Never try to catch or kill a snake — it’s dangerous and illegal.

If you see a snake, give it space. If you would like it relocated or need some advice, give us a call 0499 881 474 🐍💚
