This one nearly had us stumped! Yesterday we had Dylan attended a house in Eaglevale where a red bellied black snake had been sighted in the backyard. Dylan found the snake under the concrete slab surrounding an old tree stump after searching for a bit. Trying a couple of methods that failed when trying to remove the snake, with the home owners permission it was decided to remove the stump and pull some concrete to complete the job successfully.

Grabbing a red bellied black snake out of a bunch of building materials can be quite a sh*tty job!

What happens here? Red bellied black snakes can forcibly expel a foul smelling mix of faeces and musk. This ‘projectile poo’ isn’t random and they do it when they feel threatened, it’s designed to startle predators (or unlucky snake catchers) to make them let go.
The smell is definitely something you never forget once experienced.

Here’s one from today that one of our catchers cali attended to to get the job done right!

As the weather warms up, snakes are becoming more active and we're already seeing a steady rise in callouts every day. This red bellied black snake had made its way out to bask in the sun, right next to where people work all day, so it was decided best to move the snake out of the work roster.

Whether you're in the suburbs or out bush, it’s time to be snake-aware and prepared.

Another sneak peak behind the scenes.
This is one of our captive Broad headed Snakes (Hoplocephalus bungaroides)

This time lapse video shows one of my Broad headed Snakes are few years ago with its first un assisted feed on a pinkie mouse. These stunning snakes are endangered and wild populations under serious threat due to habitat loss, illegal rock removal, and human interference.

They play an important role in our ecosystem and deserve protection, awareness, and respect not fear.

Captive breeding and education are vital steps in ensuring this unique Australian species has a future.

These are highly venomous and can be mistaken by the untrained eye as a juvinille diamond python, and this is one of the reasons you should never handle or interact with a snake without seeking professional advice.

Eastern brown snake we removed today!

This brown snake was taking advantage of the sun before the bad weather kicks in again.

As we are fast approaching the busiest part of snake activity (spring), you will start to notice more and more snakes basking in the sun. Whilst we have only a few short weekends left before spring, a few hours in the yard will help keep your yard unattractive for any unwanted visitors.

•Maintenaned grass and gardens.
•Rubbish/bin area clean and clutter free.
•Firewood left over from winter stacked neatly on a rack off the ground.
•Any sheets of metal/plywood etc stored upright instead of flat.
•Shoes outside to be on shoe rack and not on ground level.
•Any gaps under/in fences etc can be blocked to help prevent snakes passing through.

Snakes will normally just be passing by and sometimes might stay for a day or 2 to rest and then they will keep on travelling, similar to a back packer.

The Red Bellied Black Snake would have to be the most recognisable snake in Australia. Red Bellied Black Snakes are a little different to most reptiles when it comes down to the circle of life and reproducing, as they give birth to live young!

Mating normally occurs around spring, with males travelling some distance to find a female. In the quest to do the horizontal salsa with the finest female Red Belly around. The males can cross paths and its on for young and old, a battle that consists of the 2 snakes twisting around each other erratically and using their heads to push each other down, this is normally mistaken by most as mating, instead its a battle to win the rights to the nearby female. After the salsa has been done the females carry the developing young internally and give birth later into the summer months. Pictured below on top is the young in their Membranous sac just after birth.
Emerged from the sac, they are completely independent, ready to feed on small frogs, fish and skinks.

1. Pseudechis is the Genus for the black snakes and Porphyriacus is the species name of the Red Bellied Blackk Snake.

2. Pseudechis means ''False viper''. Pseudes (false) and echis (viper)

3. Porphyriacus background ancient Greek Meaning purple. giving the whole name ''Purple false adder''

4. Probably my favourite snake.

The good old Eastern Brown Snake!

Every snake that's brown must be a brown snake and every snake that's black must be a black snake, right? Nope.

Eastern Brown Snakes are highly variable in colour, from light tan to jet black, sometimes even completely banded/striped or some with black flecks throughout the scales. This is one reason professional handlers and herpetologists will always use their scientific name which is Pseudonaja Textilis.

Couple of little fun facts for some.

1. Brown snakes are not always Eastern Browns, if i remember correctly there is 9 different species of brown snakes throughout Australia and distribution of species can overlap which is another reason scientific names are used by professionals.

2. Brown snakes are all the same genus ''Pseudonaja'' and the scientific name for the species Eastern Brown is ''Textilis''

3. Pseudonaja comes from the Greek word ''Pseudis'' meaning ''False'' and ''Naja'' meaning Cobra. ''Textilis'' in Latin means ''Woven'' giving the name Woven False Cobra.

4. The 4 snakes pictured below were relocated from inside peoples yards etc. Top left was from Harrington Park. Top right from Minchinbury. Bottom left from Bringelly. Bottom right from Narellan.

Big Red! A big beutiful red Death adder ill never forget!

A few years back, I was called out to a job and ended up relocating one of the largest Death Adders I’ve ever come across, just a few millimetres shy of 90cm long! For a species that you dont typically see over 60-70cm, this was an absolute unit!

She was sitting in a garden bed outside a medical facility trying to blend in when first noticed.

These snakes are built like little tanks, thick bodied, with lightning fast strikes. Despite their name and fearsome reputation, they're not an aggressive animal and rely heavily on camouflage to avoid threats. The death adder's signature hunting move? It uses its worm like tail tip to lure prey, a method like most of us use when we go fishing to catch a feed.

There is more to it than most people think!

People often imagine snake catching as a quick grab and off we go with a hook and a bag, In reality its a whole different beast. Our team of snake catchers don’t just know reptiles, we’re part builder, part excavator, part contortionist. The spots these animals end up in are unreal: wall cavities, engine bays, roof voids, down stormwater drains and most commonly under concrete slabs. just like this red bellied black snake that thought it had found the perfect hiding spot tucked all the way under a concrete slab, beneath a welded metal cage. The only way to get to it safely? Grinder, jackhammer, sledgehammer, bolster, crowbar, torch, snake hook, and small shovels… not to mention a few hours of sweat and determination.

Snake catching isn’t just about knowing your reptiles. It’s about problem-solving on the fly, working in tight or treacherous spaces, and carrying half a tradesman’s toolkit with you just in case. Every job is different, and every snake has a knack for pushing us to our limits.

But the goal is always the same, safe relocation for the snake, and peace of mind for the people.

I can't thank my team enough for putting in the hard yards and keeping our level of service unmatchable. This particular job was done by Dylan and as always, he nailed it!
