🇦🇺🐍 It’s World Snake Day! 🐍🇦🇺

Today we’re recognising one of Australia’s most feared yet fascinating animals — the snake.

🌿 Snakes in Australia – Why They Matter

Australia is home to around 200 snake species, with over 100 venomous species, yet bites resulting in death are rare — only 1 to 2 fatalities a year. Despite the fear, snakes are a vital part of our environment.

✅ Natural rodent control – Keeping pests like rats and mice at bay without poisons.
✅ Ecosystem balance – Snakes are predators and prey, helping keep nature in check.
✅ Supporting biodiversity – A healthy snake population supports native bird and mammal species by keeping invasive pests down.

---

🚫 Snakes Don’t Want to Bite You

Most snakes, including the Eastern Brown, avoid humans unless they feel cornered or threatened. If you spot a snake around your home or property:

1. Stay calm and back away slowly

2. Keep kids and pets at a distance

3. Call a licensed snake catcher – to relocate it safely and legally.

---

Let’s use today to better understand and respect these amazing reptiles. They’re not our enemies — they’re part of the Aussie bush, just like kangaroos and kookaburras.

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

All snake’s that live in our local area are dangerously venomous and should not be interacted with. Leave that to us. We are your trusted team of professional snake catchers, available 24/7. With more than 15 years of experience in safely handling and relocating snakes, we ensure prompt and reliable service for residential, commercial, and rural properties.

Our team of expert snake catchers will respond quickly to emergencies, helping to keep your family, pets, and property safe. We pride ourselves on our commitment to safety, education, and humane treatment of wildlife. Contact us anytime for fast, efficient, and professional snake removal or Wildlife Rescue.

Please also remember that it is not only ILLEGAL, but also extremely DANGEROUS to interact and interfere with any wildlife unless you are trained and licensed to do so. Snakes are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and must not be killed.

Update on the wallaby that jumped off the overpass.

Police arrived and blocked the road off to allow me to attend the wallaby safely. The wallaby was still alive but severely injured. I transported him up the road to the Green Cross 24 hour Emergency Vet where he was euthanised due to the extent of his injuries.

Thank you to member of public who called this job in to Wildlife Victoria.

This little Ringtail possum was found on the road in the middle of the night last night (Sunday night) and he was transported to the Werribee Zoo for a checkup today.

We don’t only catch snakes. We also volunteer for Wildlife Victoria in helping our native wildlife get the help they need when they find themselves in a dangerous situation or injured.

We are currently waiting for Victoria Police to assist with rescuing a wallaby that has jumped off an overpass into oncoming traffic.

If you do hit an animal or do come across a dead or injured animal, please report it to Wildlife Victoria so that they can get organise someone to attend and make sure the animal isn’t dead or it doesn’t have a Joey in its pouch.

Please call Wildlife Victoria on 8400 7300. A phone call can make all the difference.

The ugly side of snake catching.

Tonight, at about 6:15pm, I received a call from a man who said that he had a snake in his house. He had called another catcher and was directed to contact me as I was closer than the other catcher.

I gave him some instructions over the phone to help keep his family safe and to keep the snake under supervision until I was able to get to his house. He provided his address and I told him that I was on my way.

The address was about 35-40 minutes from my house, so off I went. I arrived at the address just after 7pm. Got my equipment out of the car and headed to the front door.

Knock knock knock! No answer. Knock again and again. Dung the doorbell and again no answer. So I get my phone out and try calling him. (Number of caller was displayed on my phone when he called originally, and also repeated to me verbally whilst on the call earlier). The phone rang out. Tried calling repeatedly about 15-20 times and nothing.

I went to the neighbours house and asked if there was someone by that name living there, but apparently they kept to themselves, so that was no help.

The original call sounded very genuine, and I could hear children in the background talking and asking questions about the snake and the man relaying my instructions to someone else.

By this stage, I’d already been at the property for over 20 mins with no response from the owner. So not much else to do but to leave and head back towards home. By the time I got home it was 8:30pm. So, 2 hours wasted by a prank caller.

Prank calls are funny, but not when it involves someone dropping everything and wasting time and money to go and help someone that doesn’t exist. Luckily that it’s very quiet this time of year for us so we didn’t have any other call outs to attend to.

Please keep in mind that any time wasted attending prank calls means that we are unavailable to attend other jobs where someone could actually be in immediate danger.

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

A huge thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way today; I'm feeling truly blessed to have such a supportive and caring community surrounding me. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness.

On the home stretch!

Stopped in at Gundagai for a little kip to break up the drive home and couldn’t resist stopping by to say G’day to the famous dog on the Tucker Box.

So we drove up to Queensland last week for the 2025 snake catchers BBQ. This event is held for all snake catchers to get together during our quietest time of the year to finally let our hair down and enjoy ourselves as our job is 24/7 and we don’t get to do that. It also allows everyone to meet with other catchers from other states and share stories and experiences.

Thank you to Brooke and Tony from Harrison’s Gold Coast and Brisbane Snake Catcher for once again opening up their home and hosting us. We really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making this possible each year.

This is a small video of some of the weekend. Enjoy.

Off to the mechanic. Doesn’t matter how much you look after them, spend on them, breakdowns still happen.

2 years ago I made the decision to upgrade my vehicle as we put them through hell during snake season going from job to job catching snakes. My car is my home and office during the snake season. I think I spend 70-80% of my days driving between September and and April.

I am heading to Queensland on Wednesday for a little getaway. I am heading to a fellow snake catcher’s place. Every year he throws a BBQ at his house at the end of June (our quietest period). Lots of snake catcher’s from all over Australia are welcome (most of us are all really good mates, but rarely get a chance to catch up as we are so busy).

As we all work 24/7 throughout the year, this is like our work Christmas party, 😜. And because I am always available through the Christmas season, I don’t get to enjoy any time to holiday with my family, so I make an effort to make this trip every year.

This year nearly didn’t happen, but managed to shift a few things around to make it work, until the car encountered a busted brake calliper. I’m thankful that it decided to happen before I hit the road, coz that could have ended badly.

So while it’s at the mechanics, it will get a good look over and service so that hopefully 🤞 we don’t face any more issues during our trip.

I will still be contactable in the off chance that you do encounter a snake while I’m away, and thankfully I have a team member available to cover any jobs that may come through while I’m away.

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

Bloody freezing outside, but the next 2 days are going to be sunny enough for snakes to venture out of their hides holes to catch a bit of sunshine.
