Good afternoon all, I have decided to step back from snake catching for the forseeable future.
This was not a decision i made easily, because i love relocating reptiles and all of the wonderful people i get to meet and educate along the way.
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
I do hope someone will pick up the slack and i am sorry to those left with no assistance but i had to do what is best for myself.
Thank you to all of the wonderful people i have met over the years.
Merry christmas.

Thank you everyone who joined us today at Cattai wetlands for the BioBlitz. There was a great turn out. It's always great seeing kids getting involved and actively asking questions and helping spot animals. Education about our wildlife is key to encouraging the next generation to help protect our native animals. Thank you to MidCoast Council for organising such a great event and inviting us to assist. We look forward to working with you all in the future to increase the knowledge of the species found in the area.

Hi all i know it has been a while and im sorry, my recovery hasn't gone to plan and i am not as able as i hoped to be after. This has led to me being unavailable a lot and i appologise.
This weekend i am taking some time out and will be unable to take calls until monday. I will have no reception at all but thats how it goes at times.

Have a great weekend and hopefully you have no scaley visitors.

For those who have been wondering i am recovering well and i am starting to walk again now. If you have snake questions or need snakes removed please call but i will be asking questions about the situation because i am learning to walk again. Thank you to those who have been very understanding during this time of recovery and i will add that i still have a long way to go so forgive me if im unavailable. I cant be on my feet much or the pain gets to much to handle.
I am also going to be raising my prices which i havent done for roughly 4 years now but with fuel prices having gone up over 60c per litre in the last 12-18 months it is starting to become an issue. I will still be doing my best to keep prices down but i have costs to cover.

As always i hope you dont need my help for your sake but we are available again and will do our best to help where possible.

I have been notified that the person filling in for me while i am recovering is moving away on the 11th of january, unfortunately this means nobody will be available until i am back on my feet. At this point in time i have no ETA but i will post here when i know more.

Unfortunately slightly gory but this is reality.
I was called to a house for a snake and when pointed in the direction i noticed a decent gap under the fence so a quick look and no sign so i looked over the fence and spotted 3 dogs, 1 with this eastern brown snake in its mouth.
I quickly went to the neighbour and explained the situation and was given access to the yard and eventually i was able to get the dog to release the snake. I explained the urgency of the owner seeking treatment and called a local vet to organise to have the snake euthanized, while on the phone i checked if they were available to treat the dogs and passed the info on to the owners. I never heard about the outcome for the dogs but hopefully it was good news.
Unfortunately for both these things almost always end with 1 or both needing urgent treatment.

This is a horrible side of what we do but what is worse is humans who feel the need to kill a snake after calling us to remove it. We do our best to arrive as quick as possible while not breaking any laws but arriving to find a dead snake is disheartening and illegal.

If you want a snake removed please call 0434490133. If you're going to kill it before we arrive please save us the hassle and call the police direct.

Due to an injury i sustained last year i will be having surgery on 29/11/21 and will be out of action for an extended period of time. During this time jayden will be taking calls and catching snakes for me.
So if you call and its not me, don't be alarmed. I will be back in action by next spring hopefully.
In the mean time i will be monitoring this page still when possible to answer questions and so on but for snake relocations please call 0434490133

This rather chunky eastern brown snake was relocated from a house west of coolongolook recently. It had found a nice place to try and shed its skin but due to that being close to the front door the home owner wasn't comfortable leaving it there. It was relocated to a forrest nearby with a dam which will have food but also the water will be handy to help it shed.
Remember that anyone catching snakes is required to be insured and charges accordingly because of the costs associated, so be careful going with cheap because it is highly likely they aren't insured and if they are claiming to be part of a wildlife organisation then they are volunteers and not to charge.
If their fee is based on venomous or non venomous that is an indication of their confidence in their own ability.
