For those OHS lovers. This is the man-haul for you! ⛑️

Snakes aren’t all I deal with on the job and I need to be prepared for those risky situations!

I needed to upgrade my gloves* and get some protection glasses and the incredible team at Industree read my mind! (And added some extra goodies) 🧤

Australian and amazing quality 💚
This snake catcher thanks you!

For snake questions or relocations give me a call!

*These gloves are not bite proof against larger snakes. But they are a great layer of protection for the smaller babies or very small snakes I encounter.

If your pet snake has escaped, stay calm! 🐍

Mistakes happen, and sometimes snakes go on an adventure.. 😬
I have been called to help with some pet snakes, and here is some tips to help assist in locating yours!

- Contain the area 🏠  Close doors and windows, block gaps under doors, and keep other pets out.
- Search smart 🛋️ Check warm, dark spots - behind furniture, inside cupboards, drawers, shoes, or under appliances. Use a torch and move slowly.
- Lure it out 🚪  Set up a gentle heat source (like a covered heat pack) in a quiet spot. Leave a thawed mouse in a secure container nearby. Sprinkle flour across doorways to spot movement overnight.
- Look at night 🌙  Is your snake nocturnal? Check quietly after dark when it’s more likely to move.
- Think it’s left the house? 🌳  Search sheds, under decks, and garden beds. Let neighbours know, and join a local Lost Pets page on Facebook. You can also call local services like , , or your local council to give them a heads up incase someone else finds it and reports it.
Stay calm, be patient, be vigilant! 💚

If you see a possible lost pet, call a snake catcher right away. Do not try catching it yourself!

For questions and relocations, call me!

Let’s talk about Cats… 🐈
And don’t get me wrong.. I like cats…

Approx over 213 cats die from snake bite every year… 🐱
(Keep them inside and they will be safe)

And it’s estimated that a pet cats kill 390million animals per year.. (working out at about 110 native animals every year from just your outdoor cat) 🐍🦎🦜🐢
- this gets pushed to an estimated 2billion per year if we include feral cats.

Cats are a huge assist in driving our native animals to extinction.. 💀

We need to start keeping them inside..
Or invest in outdoor cat enclosures!
There are some that can cover your entire back yard!

Keep your cats, and our animals safe! 💚

I’ll be bracing myself for your negative comments… 😬

This Marsh Snake (mildly venomous) was carried indoors by a much loved pet cat… thank goodness the lovely owner intervened before those teeth could sink too deep.

For information or relocations call me.

THERES A BROWN SNAKE! HELP ME!
Or is it?…

Finding a Brown Snake In your backyard can be very scary, after all they are the 2nd most venomous snake in the world. 🌍

A lot of the time I get a call for a brown snake, it’s not at all! Instead, it turns out to be one of our lovely little noodle friends!
Let me help you ID them! 👀

Marsh Snake - brown colouring, white stripe from eye, pointy nose. 👁️
Golden Crown Snake - brown in colour, pinkish red belly, pointy nose, golden crown colouring on head. 👑

A brown snake does not that those same markings! A stand out feature for me personally, is that ridged eyebrow that makes them look angry for no good reason 😠😂

Both the Marsh and Golden Crown are mildly venomous, but don’t have deadly venom*

But remember, just because it’s not a brown snake, it doesn’t mean you should be picking them up!

I find that these snakes are an easy addition to a garden. Teach your kids to never pick them up and just admire by looking.

Education over Fear goes a long way!

For questions or relocations, send me text or give me a call!

*All venom is different. You don’t know what you are allergic to, or what infections you may receive from a bite. Never risk your health or life by picking up a snake.

Hi! You might be new here.. let me introduce myself 😁

My name is Bronte and I am your local reptile relocation specialist in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter region area!

I became a snake catcher due to a huge lifestyle shift.
For 10 years I worked my heart out as a zoo keeper in zoos and aquariums here in Australia, and internationally in Northern Ireland. I decided it was time to have a bit of a break..
this break didn’t last long and I craved to work alongside animals once again. 🐨

Being a snake catcher I combine my expertise, my experience, my love for conservation, animals and education and I bring it to you (when you call me)

My goal, is to change the p***c opinion and it’s view of snakes.

I’m not asking you to like them, but to understand and appreciate their role in our environment. Why they are important and necessary to a healthy Australian ecosystem and help you feel more at ease when you might come across one. 🌿

So, if you have any questions or need a relocation, don’t hesitate to call or text. 🐍

It’ll be so lovely to meet you!
