24.01.2022 Ever wondered how a large python climbs?

22.01.2022 Possums in your roof? You need one of these! This guy was relocated from a ceiling in Murwillumbah this morning. He was very cold and easy to catch. It has been a very quiet July but hopefully things will start to pick up as we move into August and towards the mating season.

22.01.2022 This Eastern Brown was caught on Friday from outside Kunghur Pre-school. It was sunning itself in the same location for about half an hour. This snake gives a good example of the quick defensive S shape posture at the start of the video, as it holds it's ground against the attacker (me). It then moves off to the side which allowed me to get in behind and grab it. On the way out it managed to get about a foot of it's body into a crack in some wood and hang on. They don't give up easily.

20.01.2022 It has been a very slow time for snakes over winter, just starting to pick up now. A call for a Coastal Carpet Python in a roof in Murwillumbah turned out to be a male and female coiled up together. I had to let the smaller one go as I got wrapped up around a roof truss trying to get them both. The bigger snake was not trying to flee, but deliberately running interference for the other snake. Chivalry alive and well in the Carpet Python world.

17.01.2022 I relocated 6 Keelbacks from a gap in a rock retaining wall in Tweed Heads today. The video was taken at the release site. They wanted to stay together - I suspect the plain brown one at the bottom of the pile was a bit of a catch.

05.01.2022 I learnt a bit about Coastal Carpet Pythons and Guinea Fowl today. This Coastal Carpet Python in Dulguigan ate 26 of 35 Guinea Fowl eggs on Saturday night, spent Sunday reflecting on it and returned to cram in the last 9 eggs on Sunday night. And the snake wasn't that big. I have heard that having Guinea Fowl will keep snakes away, but not in this case. The owner of this property told me that the Guinea Fowl will sound a warning when a predator is near. Last year I relocated a Coastal Carpet Python from a tree overhanging a Guinea Fowl coop, patiently waiting for them to come out.
