The Brown Tree Snake (Boiga irregularis) is one of our favorite snakes here on the coast. This stunning juvenile Brown tree snake was kind enough to pose for some quick snaps and, luckily, was extremely photogenic, producing some of the best photos we've taken yet.

One of the common names for the Brown tree snake is the "Cat-eyed snake," and you can see why with the big catlike eyes they have, allowing them to see extremely well at night.

This time of year, we're going to see a lot more juvenile snakes starting to pop up. Please remember to give us a call for any of your reptile questions or relocation needs

We got a call out to this stunning Coastal carpet python this morning in Sippy Downs. We suspect this is a male out on the search for a mate. This time of year, there are going to be a lot of male snakes moving around, searching for a mate, which means they’ll end up in odd places chasing the scent of females.

Remember if you need any assistance or advice this season give us a call 0432 778 216

SNAKE SEASON IS NOW GETTING INTO FULL SWING!!

This time of year is also known as trauma season meaning we will sadly start to see more injured wildlife around, including snakes and many other reptiles.
It is extremely important that we watch out for all wildlife, especially on the roads!
Here on the Sunshine Coast we have great wildlife hospitals like Australia Zoo and Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Eumundi that can help out injured wildlife!

It is extremely important that these hospitals get full support as many snake catchers on the coast utilise them for all types of injured reptiles!

Eumundi Wildlife Centre is currently not receiving the funding they need for this trauma season so we just wanted to give a shout out to them and if anyone has a dollar they could spare check out this fundraiser link below that has been set up by Wildlife Rescue Sunshine Coast!
https://wildlife-rescue-sunshine-coast-inc.giveeasy.org/urgent-help-for-our-friends-at-eumundi

If you see any snakes or other reptiles around your home/workplace this season, give us a call and we can give you some advice on what to do or come around and relocate your unwanted visitor at a VERY competitive price!

Call us on 0432 778 216!

Also enjoy the photo of this stunning Golden Crowned Snake!

This Common Tree snake (Dendrelaphis punctulatus) has spent the past week recovering from a nasty wound to its tail at Eumundi wildlife rehabilitation centre and was now able to be released back into the wild!

As you can see in the video, this little guy sadly needed the injured area of his tail amputated but due to the injury being below the cloaca he will be able to make a full recovery!

This Common Tree snake will climb back up into the trees and continue feeding on frogs and small skinks!!

Don’t forget to call us if you ever need any help with any reptiles at any time📞☎️

Beautiful Marsh snake (Hemiaspis stigmata) out for a bask on this morning's walk.

Marsh snakes are venomous species, so they should be treated with caution. The diet of Marsh snakes consists mainly of frogs and skinks, but they have also been known to feed on reptile eggs!

Remember, we're here to help this winter - 0432 778 216

Just because it's winter doesn't mean the snakes aren't around. I've been lucky enough to find this healthy red-bellied black snake two days in a row on my morning dog walk in Sippy Downs.

Always remember, if you come across a snake, just stay still, and they'll keep moving along and self-disperse. But if they don't, and you need help with your scaly friends, just give us a call this winter on 0432 778 216

This baby Keelback (Tropidonophis mairii) found itself stuck in a swimming pool in Sippy downs this afternoon. This keelback must have only recently hatched and with snakes hatching left, right and centre it’s important to keep an eye on your pool and where possible look into ways of installing little ramps for wildlife to be able to get out of the pool. Luckily for this snake he/she was found in time.

For any of your Reptile Relocation needs don’t hesitate to give us a ring on 0432 778 216

Got a call about this poor Red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) which got stuck in a glue trap “designed to catch insect”

For anyone who currently uses these traps or knows someone who does I please urge you to look into the bycatch these cruel traps catch. All sorts of wildlife gets trapped in glue traps, from birds, lizards, snakes and even small mammals. But it’s not just glue traps which catch bycatch, all sorts of different traps end up catching, poisoning and injuring our native wildlife. The animals killed in these traps are not given a quick death they often are stuck for days or even weeks in these traps, before being attacked by other animals or starving to death.

Luckily for this snake we got to him in time, he was taken to a wildlife vet and made a full recovery and was released a few days ago. A big thanks to Wildlife Rescue Sunshine Coast for giving us a call and all the amazing work they do for our wildlife.

A beautiful healthy Lace monitor, that was relocated safely away from a construction site.

In Australia, Monitors are often referred to as Goannas, this name was given by early settlers in the mistaken belief that they were related to iguanas!

Lace Monitors are amazing animals that should be given their space, these huge lizards can cause some nasty injuries if handled, so best to admire from a safe distance.

First snake of the year! And it ended up being a Bandy-bandy!!! (vermicella annulata)

Bandy-bandys have to be one of if not the coolest looking snake we get here in Australia.

Bandy-bandys are a sub-terrestrial mildly venomous elapid, but they are virtually harmless to humans as they aren’t at all inclined to bite as well as having such small mouths it’s often almost impossible for them to be able to get a bite in.

They have a very unique diet compared to other snakes, they feed mostly if not solely on blind snakes!

This particular species of Bandy-bandy distribution covers almost half of Australia and can be found in almost any habitat from rainforests to deserts, so pretty much anywhere, although they’re still very are to find these days.
