22.01.2022 Some of you may remember Mojo, a red bellied black snake I rescued back in May. He had a altercation with a dog and cane out of it with some nasty bites along the body. Well after about four months in care with Nicola from Snake and Reptile Catching Gosford . It was time to release a few days ago. Head over and check out some of the amazing work and animals Nicola gets to work with.

20.01.2022 Given a few snake posts of late on a poultry page, I created this post and I thought I’d share here too. Majority of snakes primarily visit our aviaries/pens as there is generally a frequent food source of rodents present. Eliminating the rodents can go a long way to reducing snakes visiting and taking interest in our pens/aviaries. Things you can do to help this, are: ... - Use feeders that only dispense food on activation - Use feeders that hang, or similar that make it hard for rodents to access. - Regularly clean up food spills - Use mouse mesh where possible, to rodent proof aviaries (this can also help make aviaries snake proof). - Trap existing rodents - I personally don’t like baiting rodents, but if people opt for this method, please source rodenticides that do not cause secondary poisoning. Rodenticides are a extremely big issue across the world, building up in the food chain and killing predators on all levels of the chain. - Guinea fowl/guess can also help move snakes on for you. All snakes will do their best to avoid you and retreat to safety if given the chance. The best options if you find a snake are to keep eyes on the snake where possible and call a catcher out to move it on or leave it be to do its job and just be mindful of its presence. Many people do this with out dramas. They do move on once food supply is exhausted. Snakes only turn up to fill their bellies and have a sleep. So as Barry from Snake Catcher Victoria Australia says be nice to snakes

20.01.2022 A red belly black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) using the engine bay of a car to escape a cat.

17.01.2022 A species I’ve never been called to relocate before. This is a Stephens’ banded snake (Hoplocephalus stephensii). They are a stunning snake that not many would have seen or possibly heard of. They are a highly venomous species that is both nocturnal and arboreal. Being nocturnal and preferring wet forest/rain forest areas they are not often seen and certainly not a species I’d expect to get calls for. You’ll only find these on the fringes of the hunter. Areas like the Watagans, lower Barrington’s etc.

17.01.2022 A very informative post worth reading. Some of the situations I’ve heard similar to this are nothing but extortion.

14.01.2022 For those interested I recently started a group for wildlife seen in the hunter region. Feel free to join and share your photos/experiences if this interests you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/313281286446210/?ref=share Photo is a bearded dragon (

13.01.2022 It’s spring and for most snake species it’s mating time. This time of year can see male snakes move great distances in search of females. The drive to mate and following scent trails can make snakes quite oblivious to their surrounds and they can find themselves in areas or situations they would normally do their absolute best to avoid. It can be a very challenging time for them as they travel searching for a mate and cross paths with people, vehicles, pets etc. Please keep t...his in mind. Best thing to do is give them space and allow them to continue their search. Snakes are NOT more aggressive this time of year. A very common myth that is thrown around. They are too focussed on mating to care about anything else. If you ever need a snake identified, information or a snake removed, feel free to call or message me. Photo is a male Keelback (Tropidonophis mairii) attempting to mate with a road kill female, just to show how the drive to mate and scent take front seat over all other senses. Darwin.

11.01.2022 Another escaped pet has been captured. This time a snake. If anyone around the Heddon Greta area has lost a snake recently, feel free to contact me. Please like/share so we can try and find the owner. Picture snake is a red bellied black (Pseudechis porphyriacus) I photographed at Paterson.

10.01.2022 Hi all, I have picked up an escaped pet lizard in the Rutherford region. If you have or know someone that has lost a pet lizard recently, please contact me. Please like and share to try and get this lizard back to it’s owner. NOTE: picture is for attention. The pictured lizard is martens’ water monitor (Varanus mertensi) I photographed in Darwin.

09.01.2022 A stunning tiger snake (Notechis scutatus) I photographed quite some time back. Tiger snakes are not found in the majority of the Hunter region and due to this I’ve never been called to relocate one. You don’t start seeing tiger snakes until you head up towards the upper Allyn region or inland from the central coast.

07.01.2022 A photo a friend recently took for me. A red belly black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) and a eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis). Both sharing the same hide and both been using it for at least a week. Many people believe that red bellied blacks deter or keep eastern browns away. This is not accurate. Both species have been recorded eating each other and both species will coexist where resources are plentiful.

07.01.2022 Leaden delma (Delma plebeia) a species of legless lizard I came across recently. Legless lizards are often mistaken for snakes and I often get calls to come remove them due to the mistaken identity. It’s always very helpful if you can grab a photo of your encounters when you think you require a catcher. Sometimes just getting clarification on the identity is enough to ease stress.

05.01.2022 Happy world lizard day! Eastern blue tongue (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides) Pink tongue skink (Cyclodomorphus gerrardii) Eastern water skink (Eulamprus quoyii)... Eastern ranges rock skink (Liopholis modesta) Eastern bearded dragon (Pogona barbata) Mertens water monitor (Varanus mertensi) yellow spotted monitor (Varanus panoptes) Swamplands lashtail dragon (Tropicagama temporalis) See more
