17.01.2022 As the days become warmer, we are beginning to see snakes emerge from their winter hibernation to bask in the sun and search for food and a mate In the Melbou...rne area, Eastern Brown Snakes and Tiger Snakes are the most common and they are highly venomous. Key points to remember about living in or visiting an area with snakes: 1. When left alone, snakes present little or no danger to people. 2. If you see a snake, keep calm and move yourself and anyone with you (including pets) away from the area. 3. Don't attempt to capture or harm snakes, instead call DELWP on 136 186 for further advice, or call a licensed snake catcher. 4. Maintain lawns and clean up around your house, because snakes are attracted to shelter such as piles of rocks, timber, sheets of metal and building materials. 5. Undertake first aid training and ensure your first aid kit contains several compression bandages, and if someone is bitten, call 000 immediately.
