QUICK! WHATS THE NUMBER FOR TRIPLE ZERO?!

Thankfully, we didn’t need to remember, as THEY called US!

We had a call from an officer at the Kensington Police Station this evening, as they had a criminal on the run.

Criminally adorable!

Given snakes are immune to handcuffs, they called us in to assist.
And easy catch, and then released back into the nearby bushland.
We don’t normally release snakes at night, but thankfully it was still warm outside, and was a bit far to come back tomorrow just to release a snake.

Thanks to Justin and Ryder for releasing the snake for me. Love it when the boys come along (they just wanted to see inside a police station 🤣)

SLAY, QUEEN!Or whatever kids say these days….This little Baddie is Queen Amelia. Queenie got herself stuck in young diva...

SLAY, QUEEN!

Or whatever kids say these days….

This little Baddie is Queen Amelia.
Queenie got herself stuck in young diva’s bedroom overnight, and despite giving her a bit of a fright, no cap, after she was in the tub and had a chance to be admired, they straight up could see her rizz.

After agreeing Queen ate up that fire drip, and a bit of education on snakes and why they’re dope, Queen Amelia was released into some nearby bushland.

No catch or release video of this one - so many baby Dugites lately, which all go essentially the same way - but I couldn’t not show you are incredibly stunning this one was.

Definitely the GOAT of the season so far.

And that, fam, is straight facts.
Mic drop!

(To all the over 25’s, I apologise for this post 🤣🤣)

While hatchling Dugite season is in full swing, and we are getting multiple calls a day do the cheeky buggers, we are still getting plenty of big ones popping up.

Like this stunner who happened to try its hand….. snakes don’t have hands… 🤔…. At helping these residents with rodent control.

Much to the chagrin of the pet birds, chickens and even a turkey!

Considering the snake had no idea it was about to be grabbed, and was just trying to get some takeout, it remained super composed and showed no signs of super defensive behaviour.
Showing that these incredible creatures have no desire to beef with us, and just want to be left to do their thing.

Relocated into some cracking bushland not too far away 👌

Not what you want to find on your kitchen counter!!!!
Tea, coffee, pancakes… all the things you expect in the kitchen, but a highly venomous snake (Dugite) is not one of them. Unfortunately for one Lesmurdie resident, that is exactly what she found when she got home from work.
After posting on the local page to find someone to help, she got in touch with Lisa, who promptly abandoned wall sanding to come and rescue the coffee from the kitchen, oh and the snake.
Coffee reunited with Astrid and snake safely relocated back to the bush.

As promised, here is an incredible write-up from our legendary amazing friends south of the metro area, on baby dugites ...

As promised, here is an incredible write-up from our legendary amazing friends south of the metro area, on baby dugites and hatchling season.

Lani has out some brilliant info in this post, and to save regurgitating info, let’s just share her post.

Aside from the numbers to call obviously, please take a good read which may help to understand baby snakes and their behaviours, and what to do if you see one.

Thanks for the epic post Lani! x

While you’re at it, give her page a follow, and share it with your South of Freo friends and family, so we can all help educate and conservate 🐍❤️🐍

BABY BONANZA!

Yes, it’s that time of the year again folks….

We apologise to those that have tried to call us the last couple of weeks, and we haven’t been able to assist.
We have been exceptionally busy with life in general 😅.

But yes, it is the time of the hatchling snakes…
The baby Dugites have started making their way in this big wide world, and this inevitably leads them into our homes or workplace.
While I have been unavailable to attend calls, other relocators on our network have had these popping up for at least a week, and today when I finally had some time, I managed to snag my first one from a warehouse on Orange Valley.

Fret not folks… while these overgrown worms may seem angry and dangerous - and yes they are venomous - if treated with respect they pose no real danger to you.

So what do you do if you come across one?

As always, keep an eye on it!
If possible, place a wet towel or blanket on top of it. This keeps it still and cool, giving us enough time to get there without it disappearing or causing panic.

The mean you no harm. Being so small and fragile, literally everything is a potential predator, so they try and scare you off with everything they have.

I won’t bore you with a long winded post, but tomorrow I will share a more detailed informational post by another relocator.

For now, hope you’re all doing well, and enjoy my first hatchy of the season 🐍❤️🐍

DOOR DASH

Happy Australia Day folks!
Hope you all enjoyed your public holiday.

Despite the un-summer like weather, there were still a few snakes cruising around.

Like this ridiculously stunning South West Carpet Python that just happened to be climbing this residents back fly screen door 😳.
For most people, I understand this would be a bit of a fright, but I would be sooooo happy to see this 🤣.

Relocated to some bushland near the Lesmurdie Falls, back to where it belongs, safe to digest its meal in peace 🐍

SEXY PSEUDONAJA

How incredible looking is this Dugite (Pseudonaja affinis) relocated from a property in East Cannington today?!

These snakes are so bloody stunning sometimes, and it’s not hard to see how they make me feel 🤣.

Interestingly enough, this snake was actually spotted OFF the ground, wedged between the front door frame and the brick wall. Unfortunately, it had made its way down by the time I got there, but check the pic in the comments. Who says venomous snakes don’t climb?!

A bit spicy on release, but good lord that was one pretty snake 😍

WESTERN WUNDER

Despite being a 45 min drive, I headed out to Wundowie yesterday morning to an ex workmates place, where his wife was standing diligently watching a snake that was taking refuge under some fencing posts. An incredible job!

Wundowie and the surrounding areas can have an overlap of our 2 local brown snake species - The Dugite aka Western Spotted Brown Snake (Pseudonaja affinis), and the Gwardar aka Western Brown Snake (Pseudonaja mengdeni).

It’s not often I get to catch Gwardars, so it was definitely worth the trip - aside from helping out some mates.
As you can see by this video, Gwardars are a…. Little… more highly strung. Again, I won’t use the term aggressive. This snake simply was scared and thought I was a predator. Fair enough.
Despite this bad rap and intense initial behaviour however, you can see how calm it was during the release.
Once it sensed bush and safety and freedom, it calmed right down.

THIS is their natural behaviour. The only time we see a snake acting “aggressively”, is when it is scared. And that’s usually when we just happen to come across each other.

The catch kept me on my toes about bit though 😉

Interesting fact - Gwardar is an indigenous word for “Go The Long Way Around”.

Solid advice from our First Nations people!

DARLING-TON

What an absolute specimen relocated from a Guinea Pig cage in Darlington this afternoon.

*No Guinea pigs were harmed in this relocation*

A rat, however… was regurgitated….

Despite being trapped in the cage by the residents, this beast of a snake was as calm as anything. Making for an easy catch, and a quick look over, and a photo opportunity for the daughters.

A snake this big, and this healthy, would be an old snake. Multiple scars showing this individual is an absolute warrior and survivor.

What a privilege to be able to encounter a reptile like this. An absolute honour.

I bloody love what we do ❤️🐍❤️

A slightly different one from last night….

As part of the Wildlife Rescue Australia network, I occasionally get calls to help other injured animals. More often than not, birds.

Just after midnight, I got a call to help a bird that was sitting at an intersection in Willeton.
Luckily (for them) I couldn’t sleep last night, and was about to get out of bed to watch tv, so why not do some good instead!

Shoutout to the 2 fellas that took time out of their night to make sure this Corella was ok. They didn’t need to do that at midnight on a Thursday, but restores some fasting in humanity!

Also thank you to the Perth Vet Emergency in Cannington for taking the spunky critter on.

The things that happen after midnight…. 😅

07/01/2026

Beating the heat isn’t just for us humans, even the snakes sometimes need to get out of the sun. In fact this Dugite was spotted cruising the pool area of a property in Lesmurdie.

A quick call to Lisa who was on her way home from the Kalamunda Water Park and the snake is now enjoying a more appropriate bushland property with an epic city view.
