25.01.2022 Illegal Hitchhiking! Imagine driving down the M1 at 100km/ph in a fully loaded b-double only to notice that you had unknowingly picked up a random hitchhiker, w...ell that is exactly what happened to our client this morning. After leaving the depot in Southport this driver made it all the way to Coomera before this beautiful Carpet Python decided to show his face and get a better view point by slithering up onto the side mirror, nothing like feeling the wind in your scales on a cool autumn morning . Thankfully the driver managed to stay calm and was able to continue on to Pimpama where he was able to pull his rig safely off the road and wait for us to come and apprehend this unwanted guest. ~BB~

23.01.2022 Waiting for the next bird to take a bath. Dinner and a drink all in one!!

23.01.2022 If you have a tennis court with this kind of netting please ensure its placed a minimum 450mm above ground when not in use. Early morning rescue in the leafy suburb of Chapel Hill. Snake was released with a few dinged up scales but left in the sun would have surely died.

22.01.2022 Wow...I don't know where this was filmed...but I think it's pretty brave how the Gecko saves his buddy's/ partner's life :-)

21.01.2022 It's not all scaly and slithery around here! One of our catchers went out to rescue this Australian Boobook owl chick today, after a concerned member of the pub...lic found him on the ground. He still has some growing to do before he is capable of flying and shouldn't be out of the hollow yet, so he will spend that time with a carer until he is fit to be reunited with his parents.

20.01.2022 Meet our 2 office pets, Walter the albino Darwin Carpet Python and Holly the Woma Python. Both of these snakes were caught on snake callouts in 2019. Of course, neither of them occur naturally in South East Queensland, meaning they were escaped/dumped pets. When we find pet snakes, they are surrendered to the Department of Environment and Science where they are held for a short period so that any owners looking for their lost snakes can have the opportunity to claim them. Un...fortunately nobody claimed these two gorgeous snakes, so we went through the adoption process and now they are a part of our work family. Walter is a lovely snake who can be a bit twitchy at times but with regular handling has become much more comfortable. Unfortunately (for us) Walter has a habit of painting his enclosure from floor to ceiling (and himself) with his own faeces, so he has earned himself the nickname "Poocasso". We still love him anyway. Holly is an absolute puppy dog who is a pleasure to handle, as you can see from the last photo of her having a cuddle with one of our catchers. Holly has much better toilet habits and more respect for herself If you were ever thinking of getting a pet snake, please consider adopting :) There are always plenty of beautiful snakes at the RSPCA looking for a loving home. https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/adopt/search

18.01.2022 A Common Tree Snake terrorising these poor figurative sculptures; they couldnt even stand to face him!

18.01.2022 Two very prolific, well-adapted urban species battling it out. One of the Common Brushtail Possums did become the Carpet Pythons dinner, however, there was a remaining survivor.

17.01.2022 Another reason to ensure you keep the soil topped up in your hanging baskets. Tofanella st Fig tree Pocket -BR-

17.01.2022 In 2018 we were called out to a job in Kenmore for a snake in a pool skimmer box. A pretty common scenario. It turned out to be an absolute monster of a White-...crowned Snake which measured 54cm! While this species can reach around the 50cm mark, we don't often catch individuals this size. Most individuals we catch are significantly smaller like the snake in the second image. These snakes are weakly venomous but not considered dangerous to humans at all. They are also very reluctant to bite and tend to headbutt things more than anything If you want to read more about this small, nocturnal, leaf litter loving snake, you can read the educational post we wrote at the following link: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=772531786268770&id=185716708283617

13.01.2022 Remember to check under your outdoor pillows before sitting down. ~BL

10.01.2022 Carpet Pythons are often appreciated for managing rodent population. However, being opportunistic feeders, rats are not the only meal in a Python's diet. Unfortunately, this Carpet Python from Currumbin Valley made a meal out of someone's beloved pet cat. This is a sad situation, but the good news is that it can be avoided! Keeping your cats inside (and only taking them outdoors under supervision) reduces the risk to native wildlife, and to cats themselves! Keep your fur babies close, and leave the rats to the pythons

10.01.2022 Although Eastern brown's climbing ability is not the best, they definitely can climb in certain situation. This eastern brown got into a house in Purga through ...a door that was left open, before being noticed by the lady's dog. After getting herself and the dog out of the house and closing his exit point he was left to try and find a new exit point! ~BL

10.01.2022 Ever wonder how a snake breathes while swallowing their food? Our team at Snake Catchers Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan & Gold Coast 0413 028 081 captured a video to show just that! While the snakes mouth is stretched to its limits around the prey, the glottis (which opens into the trachea/windpipe) hangs out, which allows them to breathe the entire time!... Pretty cool, hey?!

07.01.2022 An adorable hatchling Common Tree Snake from Mitchelton this morning.

06.01.2022 Guess who shut down a section of the M1 surveillance system...

06.01.2022 Hmmm...it looks like a dog, and it sure smells like a dog! Sooo I can definitely eat it, right? Every now and then we will turn up to this situation. A dogs toy..., which obviously has the dogs scent all over it, will seem pretty attractive to a hungry python! The two were separated and the lucky "dog" got to live another day. See more

03.01.2022 SNAKE SAFETY TIPS IN THE GARDEN Snakes dont like large open spaces where they cannot hide or seek shelter, so make sure you: ~ Keep grass short and maintained... ~ Position garden beds away from the house. ~ Lop trees around your house so that the branches are not in contact with the roof. ~ Dont keep pet food outside, as it will attract rodents. ~ Rock walls with gaps are a great resting place for snakes. Timber Piles and Compost Snakes often target compost piles for egg deposition sites and the food scraps attract rodents. A timber pile offers snakes many options for refuge, so make sure you: ~ Keep compost in a bin with a lid on. ~ Stack timber piles neatly and away from the house. ~ The less places for snakes to hide, the better. ~ Timber piles offer rodents a safe place giving the snake the option of an easy meal. Chicken Coops, Aviaries & Guinea Pig Cages Unfortunately we get call outs every week from pet owners that have found a python in their aviary, coop or cage after consuming the occupants. ~ Outside pets are quite vulnerable to free ranging snakes. ~ Aviaries are notorious for attracting rodents which in turn bring snakes in proximity to your pets. ~ Its important to secure your pets such as birds and Guinea Pigs in cages with small gauged wire. Something the equivalent of mouse wire would suffice Indoors Check all doors and windows for possible holes (snakes can squeeze themselves through very small gaps). ~ Block any cracks in walls leading to the outside. ~ Many households have pythons living in their roof, as long as you dont have any entry points from there into your house, you need not worry! ~ Pythons do a great job of hunting down rats and possums that may be in your roof and they are much quieter. ~ If you find a snake inside a room, keep a close eye on it call 1300 Catch It Share around so people can educate themselves and make sure they are putting the best steps in place to avoid attracting snakes!

03.01.2022 Common Tree Snake in Lytton A great example of how much this species can vary in colour; ranging from green, olive, brown, black to this stunning blue-grey!

03.01.2022 Snake catchers nightmare at Woorama St The Gap! That terrifying 12:45am callout that results in a carpet python that was found by the homeowners emerging out of the toilet bowl! We dont advocate the use of hooks on harmless pythons but in this case a no touch policy was enacted! -BR-

02.01.2022 Only place to hide in the room I guess JL

02.01.2022 Nice little eastern brown snake relocated from a retaining wall in cedar vale RN

02.01.2022 A large carpet python perfectly poised inside a chicken coop with a chicken inside his stomach. Relocated from a property in Tallai RN
