As the temperature increases so does the likelihood of an interaction from a reptile in your yard or home. These guys are feeling the heat also and just want to try escape it also. We had this beautiful baby tiger snake take a swim in a pool this morning. If you have any concerns or are worried about any wildlife please give me a call and i will be happy to assist.

A beautiful big Red Belly Black trying to escape the heat in a gentleman’s garage this afternoon. Nothing like some cool cement to regulate the body temp for these guys. Just a reminder to everyone that during hot weather like we are having at the moment snakes will look to seek shelter around your homes where it might be cooler for them or where they can access water. If anyone has any concerns please call us.

Today we were lucky enough to meet an absolute beast and gentleman of a Red Belly Black Snake. He was spending some time and spreading some Christmas cheer at a local aged care facility. Great work by the staff to help keep an eye on our friend until we could arrive.

Good afternoon all. Sorry we haven’t posted on here in a little as we have just been so busy lately. I have a little video of a gorgeous RBB that caused a bit of controversy yesterday. This beautiful snake decided it wanted to check out all the beautiful cars that came out to the Wangaratta Cruise Night. However it was safer for the snake and the public if we moved it back into the wilderness. After a quick health check we found a beautiful spot for this car loving snake to call home.

A shout to the Eyewatch - Wangaratta Police Service Area for their assistance in keeping an eye on our friend and keeping the public a safe distance away until we could arrive.

Merry Christmas all. We hope you all have a great holiday.

Even with the cooler weather setting in we still have snakes out and about trying to live their best lives. Today we had 2 call outs for snakes that needed a new home. The first was an Eastern Brown that decided it was a bit cold outside so made its way inside a gentlemans bedroom into his split system to try keep warm.
The second was another Eastern Brown at retirement village in Yarrawonga. It was sunning itself in a nice leafy garden bed then decided to head under the adjoining footpath to rest. Due to his location he needed to be removed, so a couple hours of careful digging later we managed to find his den and helped him into a nice warm bag for the night. Please be mindful of rocky outcrops and garden beds as our little friends are still out and about

At the 2025 VHS Reptile & Amphibian Expo where we met up with Bradley Kirley and his lovely family. We also had a great chat with Stuart from Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7. We will definitely reach out for a catch up when we visit your neck of the woods. It was great to see so many exhibits and see such a large gathering of reptile enthusiasts.
Looking forward to next year.

This article is a very good read and is something to keep in mind when it comes to relocating a snake.

Hundreds of snakes are moved from backyards, inside homes and other urban areas into reserves and bushland around Canberra each year — but until now, little has been known about what happens to snakes after they’re released.
