25.01.2022 This pair of South West Carpet Pythons (Morelia Imbricata) were happily released near Churchman Brook Dam after a few months of rehabilitation at ARC. When hunting, the South West Carpet Python will take up an ambush position next to well used prey trails lying in wait for food. This is commonly seen in tree hollows when they’re hunting for birds near nesting sites. With their high variability in colour and patterns that help them camouflage well into their surroundings the...y truly are stunning animals to find as every Carpet Python you see will be different from the next. South West Carpet Pythons are my all time favourite species of python. I have such a soft spot for these amazing snakes and it’ll never get old seeing them in the wild. Feel free to check the comments to see videos of their release!

25.01.2022 While volunteering at Armadale Reptile Centre we got a call that there was a Dugite (Pseudonaja affinis) in someone’s driveway in Byford. In 5 minutes I was there and I was told by the owners the Dugite was under one of there concrete pavers. I flipped the paver and saw a juvenile Dugite around a metre in length. After a bit of encouragement he went straight in my bag. A great catch and release for my first catch of the season!

19.01.2022 It saddens me deeply to see any animal unnecessarily lose its life because of some heartless person. Driving down the freeway I spotted this Tiger Snake that appeared to be injured. He was well and truly off the road in the emergency lane and it was obvious that someone would of had to swerve to hit him. This Tiger Snake was in a very bad way and was in a lot of pain when I rescued him. I didn’t think there was much hope in him pulling through but I thought I’d give it a go ...to see if there was any chance at all. Upon arrival to The Unusual Pet Vets his condition had declined further and the vet decided the kindest thing to do was put him to sleep. I understand that snakes aren’t so cute and cuddly like a lot of our mammals and other wildlife are but they are a vital part of our country’s biodiversity and ecosystems and deserve as much respect as any other animal. I’d love the attitude to someday change that snakes aren’t dangerous, aggressive and evil creatures when in reality they will always leave people alone unless they fear for their own lives. If you would like to support and spread this message I’m selling these bumper stickers for $3. All proceeds will go to the West Australian Herpetological Society. #ibrakeforsnakes

19.01.2022 Had a once in a lifetime experience fauna trapping for an environmental survey in The Great Victorian Desert. With over 60 species of reptiles caught over 18 days as well as mammals, amphibians and invertebrates it shows how rich our biodiversity is here in Australia. Now with the trip over it’s time to get back into catching reptiles here in Perth

14.01.2022 Heading into summer means reptiles are on the move! Whether you’re tackling the weeds in your garden, cleaning out the garage or anything else outdoors there can be a good chance that you may stumble across a lizard, snake or even a turtle that may be taking refuge somewhere on your property, place of work or a public area. This post is a reminder that I offer a free service to relocate any reptile that may be in danger to itself or a danger to people it may encounter. I ope...rate in a 40km radius of South Perth but I am willing to travel further if necessary. If you do encounter a reptile that needs to be relocated the following steps can make our lives much easier! Step 1: Once you’ve seen the reptile step back at least 5-10 metres so the animal doesn’t feel threatened. Many of our common Australian snake species are venomous. This makes this step very important as trying to catch a snake yourself is the most dangerous thing you can do if you’re not trained in doing so. Step 2: Make sure any people in the area are alerted of where the animal is and that any pets children or elderly are in a safe place. Step 3: Keep your eyes on the reptile and call me (Sam - 0475103062). I will walk you through these steps anyway and make sure everything is safe before I leave. If I believe you’re too far for me to travel or I can’t make it for whatever reason I can put you in touch with another reptile relocator in your area that can help. Feel free to share/save my contact details or this post to help people who may need it!

11.01.2022 Another great reason not to use rat poison! https://www.perthnow.com.au//perth-reptiles-ingesting-rat-

10.01.2022 We have a wedding crasher! A couple had come into Armadale Reptile Centre with this Southern/Common Death Adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) who decided to slither on in to a wedding of more than 130 people. After giving everyone a fright, the couple caught him in a bucket and brought him to me where I was able to go and release him close by to where he came from near Wungong Dam. Death Adders are known as ambush predators which conceal themselves amongst leaf litter and other ...debris taking advantage of their excellent camouflage. They wiggle the end of their tail (known as a caudal lure) to attract their prey and wait patiently until a small lizard, rodent, marsupial or amphibian comes into striking distance. I never ever condone people to try capture a snake themselves, if not otherwise experienced or qualified to do so. You can see in the video posted in the comments that this Death Adder moves quite slow but they are actually one of the fastest striking snakes in Australia. Caution should definitely be taken if spotted as their venom contains a type of neurotoxin which causes loss of motor and sensory function, including respiration, resulting in paralysis and sometimes death if medical attention isn’t given as soon as possible.
