SPICY MAMACITA!

Well this was one of the hairier catches I’ve had in a while.
A very large Dugite nestled under some trees, a bit scared after an encounter with a dog, and about neck height up a slight retaining wall….

Once I finally actually managed to see where its head was, she was mouth gaping, which could be one of 2 things - defensive and anxious, or possibly injured and in pain. Luckily it was the former.

When I had a chance to grab her and pull her out, it was very obvious that this is a huge gravid female.
Full of eggs!

And absolute beast of a snake, and it’s good to see these large specimens are still out there, and producing the next generation of natures best rodent control.

Released onto a nearby reserve where she will find somewhere to deposit her eggs, before continuing her child-free life.

DARLING OF DEATH

Well this was a nice surprise.
On a cool October night, we were called to a house in Darlington, and they had an adorable little death adder looking to sell insurance door to door.

Maybe not… but this is interesting, as I have never caught a death adder this far north.
Bickley, Pickering brook, karragullen… but never north of there.
I have heard of them being around Mundaring, and the beautiful bushland indicates they *should* be, but in 12 years, this is the first I have actually seen in this area.

Pretty cool!

Like most wild Death Adders I come across, this one was relatively placid. Despite their fear-inducing name, they are *usually* a pretty calm snake. Not always….

It ended up raining while we were there, and normally we don’t like to release snakes when it’s a bit colder, but given it was already out, we drove a few hundred metres away to a nature reserve, and let it slither off to cover.

Was super exited to come across and rescue this little guy 😍

NEVER BEFORE SEEN - 3 SPECIES RELOCATED AT THE SAME TIME! 😱

Here is one from the other day, that I haven’t got around to posting - until now. And what a doozy!

Had a call for a Dugite in a pool in High Wycombe, that was hiding inside the skimmer box, then swimming around for a bit. I anticipated a yearling Dugite, as they can have trouble getting out of pools.
I was not expecting a snake this big! Not huge, but definitely bigger than a juvenile. (Hence the tub instead of my normal bag).

The poor dude was a bit cold and exhausted, so made for an easy catch.

Not only did i catch a gorgeous snake, I also managed to save a wolf spider AND a ladybird!

That’s a 3-fer!

Definitely never done that before 🤣

We also don’t charge more for extra species 😝

(and spiders, and ladybirds lol).

LOVELY LOCALS!

Well sometimes we do actually get a VERY local call out, like today. This adorable little Dugite did itself a mischief and ended up in a backyard in Walliston.
Luckily for the snake, it found its way into the yard of friends of ours.
Literally 4 mins down the road - if that!

While we are replicators for the Perth Hills, it’s not often we get to rescue a snake so close to home. Makes it a bit more special 🥰.

It’s a good reminder that the Kalamunda Chamber of Commerce people’s choice awards voting is live, and we would genuinely appreciate your vote. (Link in comments).

We love our community so much, and that includes are gorgeous reptiles.
Seriously, how cute was this guy just hanging out before it took off 🥰
(And Ben of course 😝).

Stay safe folks. The weather is definitely warming up …

Even with the overcast, gloomy, and almost rainy weather, the snakes are still definitely out and about.

Like this chonker found in the front parking lot of a commercial business in Maddington.

I’m still always surprised when we get calls for snakes in this area.
There is literally one sliver of bush/ creek that runs through it, and it’s crazy how it seemingly sustains quite a few snakes.

This one was super chill when I caught it, but - as always - was a little less friendly on release. But that’s the good part! 😅.

Taken across Tonkin Hwy to some old bush reserve, there really isn’t any other suitable spots for them to go. I found some good cover for it to hide out while it’s get its bearings, but not before it gave me some utterly perfect defensive display 😍
It looks scary, but I promise it’s just telling me to back off. And it worked! 😅

AND IT BEGINS…..

Yes folks.. it has officially begun. Snake season is now upon us. I’m sure you all aren’t as happy as we are 🤣.

This sweet little thing was found under some garden slabs in Glen Forrest this afternoon.
While it was a relatively easy catch, I noticed a bit of tail damage as I released it.
I’m actually unsure if it was damaged before or during the catch.
Thankfully, it is not a serious injury. While the tip will eventually drop off, it will not cause any long term effect to the snake.

Important info as always;

If you see a snake, DO NOT INTERFERE WITH IT. Call us, and let us take care of it for you.
ALWAYS stay watching it.

If you can see it, or if you move away from the area, how are we supposed to find it?

Yes, we do charge. Only $50. This covers our time, fuel and risk.

We aren’t always available, but we will endeavour to find someone who is.

ALWAYS STAY WATCHING IT. This bit is importantly ;)

Above all else, please stay safe. Be prepared - get snake bite bandages if you spend time in the bush, or live in snake prone areas. Make sure you know snake bite first aid.

Remember, snakes are not out to get people. They are legitimately more scared of you, than you are of them. We are potential predators to them, and they want nothing to do with us.
They will avoid us at all costs, and only strike when feeling threatened.
They do NOT chase people 😉

The more we can learn to live with this incredible native, ecologically important animals, the less snakes AND people will die.

Save our numbers, if you haven’t already.

We don't normally do this, but friends support friends businesses, right? I am also a dad, and Father's Day is almost here!

If you haven't seen them, The Remedy - Kalamunda is an amazing health and wellness space based in the heart of Kalamunda, operating since last year.

Direct from Hayley at The Remedy --
"80% of the men that come into the clinic fall asleep on the table within 15 minutes of their treatment session as opposed to around 30% of women. This tells us that men are not taking the time to recharge and rejuvenate and their bodies are heavily overstimulated.
We bundled a massage and spa session together for all the dads to enjoy. Send them our way and we will do the rest."

So apologies this is not our normal content, but if you're looking for last minute ideas, why not treat him to some self-care!? Speaking from experience, we can definitely benefit from it too ;)

CLOSE CALL!

Yet ANOTHER winter snake relocation, which takes this years tally to 4.
It may not sound like a lot, but for a city that gets too cold for reptiles to operate - generally -, this is a huge amount!

This unbelievable looker was found behind a large box in a Welshpool warehouse.
Not the first tiger snake we have relocated from this area over the years, but it is pretty rare.
Being built on top of swamp land, with a few pockets still thriving, it is understandable they can still be in the area.
This section of Welshpool is also right next to Roe Hwy, and Wattle Grove. Not too far from where I relocated the baby tiger a few weeks ago.
Luckily, I had a path to the otherwise of the hwy, and to a decent sized swamp with dense bush, and plenty of frogs- Tiger Snakes favourite snacky poos.
While being a generally relaxed snake, it was a bit more tired up on release, and took me by surprise a little. Although it looked - and felt - close, upon review, it was further away. Thankfully lol.

Stay safe folks. Snake season is approaching fast!

LIZARDS IN THE MATRIX

Well another winter time relocation today, for this tristis (aka Black Headed Monitor; aka Varanus tristis) that managed to get itself stuck inside a house in Bickley yesterday
The resident was having trouble encouraging it to make its own way out, so I stopped by to lend a hand.
After an exhausting 15 second drive to the house down the street, I found this poor dude huddled in a corner, absolutely freezing.

As we discussed in the last video, reptiles need heat to create energy to move and function.
This guy had none.
The tricky part was finding a spot with some sunlight to let him get some warmth so he could get energy to find a hidey hole.
After trying a couple spots, he decided to try and warn me off with a cool defensive display, AND THEN GOING ALL EXORCIST ON ME!

An insanely impressive example of flexibility of these lizards.

And it’s always appreciated when we can release these animals back onto the same property to keep them home ❤️
