25.01.2022 Good night, sleep tight and don't let the pythons bite! ;)

24.01.2022 Terrifying moment yes! However this is a perfect example that snakes are not out to get you. It could have easily bitten the children. It was scared and it was trying to get away. A great outcome for a terrifying moment.

24.01.2022 A good video demonstrating first aid in the event of a snake bite, or suspected snake bite. Remember to move away from the immediate are and don't go looking for the snake. Call a snake catcher after calling for help. A list of catchers can be found at snakecatchers.com

21.01.2022 Whilst I wouldn't endorse putting a child near a venomous snake this does go to show they are not the evil creatures they are made out to be.

21.01.2022 Repellent products don't seem to work so best bet is to train dogs to stay away from snakes. Safety for both pup and snake!

20.01.2022 Fishing in Australia!

19.01.2022 Snake season is just starting!

18.01.2022 Happy world snake day! Be nice to animals, even the scary ones! https://www.nationalgeographic.com//world-snake-day-photo/

17.01.2022 Thoughts on this photo?

17.01.2022 The lesson is to stay calm!

17.01.2022 Identify this awesome creature!

16.01.2022 - ? When a front-fanged venomous snake bites down with enough pressure, the muscles around the venom gland contract,... forcing venom to flow along the venom ducts and through the fangs. A successful venomous bite generally depends on how effectively the snake has bitten the subject and whether the snake bites down hard enough to engage the muscles around the venom gland. When defending themselves against a predator, snakes often strike out to intimidate their opponent without intending to deliver venom. A dry-bite occurs when a snake bites a subject, but does not inject venom. Dry bites may just be quick defensive bites, or glancing bites, where the fangs contact the victim’s skin, but the snake does not hold on long enough, or bite down with enough force, to result in the successful delivery of venom. While further research is required on this topic, it is becoming widely accepted that venomous snakes instinctively know when to use, and when not to use their venom. Put simply, if a venomous snake bites a prey item, their intent is to inject venom 100% of the time, or they risk going hungry. Alternatively, when a venomous snake bites to defend itself, they don’t always inject venom, presumably for two reasons; 1) There is no situation where the snake benefits from using its venom on a non-prey item; it is a waste of venom and risks injury to the snake. 2) If a snake is faced with a life and death situation and a confrontation were to take place, no matter how venomous the snake is, its venom won’t act fast enough to stop the predator from killing the snake in the first place, rendering venom ineffective as a defensive strategy when delivered from a bite. With regard to Brown snakes, such as the Dugite - aka Spotted brown snake (Pseudonaja a. affinis) as pictured below, and the Eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textillis) statistics show that the general rate of envenoming is approximately 20-40%, meaning dry bites occur in 60-80% of bite cases. With such a low rate of envenoming, it stands to reason that they instinctively know not to use their venom on anything they cannot eat. To summarise, I am not advising anyone to take their chances if they are bitten; always apply snakebite first aid and seek urgent medical attention if you believe you have been bitten. I am simply explaining the mechanics of a bite and what a dry-bite is for those who are unaware, as well as outlining that snakes such as brown snakes can, and often do, dry bite.

15.01.2022 Boss, were going to need a bigger ladder During a night patrol near Wujul Wujul officers had to wait for this scrub python to cross the road https://goo.gl/kc9ZG3

14.01.2022 Remember to look inside the pool filter box before putting your hand in! :)

14.01.2022 A great article for every parent.

13.01.2022 This is a fantastic and heartwarming story of one of the snake catchers on Snakecatchers.com

13.01.2022 A pretty little green tree snake removed from a lounge room in Murrumba Downs.

12.01.2022 GIVE ME A SNAKE AMONG THE GUM TREES! One of three beautiful Murray Darling Carpet Pythons I was lucky enough to find on a 2018 trip into inland QLD / SA. This i...ndividual was around 1.6m in length and in beautiful condition. They are also referred to as Inland Carpet Pythons. As the name suggests, they inhabit some pretty harsh environments of inland Australia. For safety, and to escape the extreme temperatures, they often shelter in the well insulated tree hollows. If there are no trees available, they utilise disused animal burrows. Lucky for us, all tree snakes were out and about when we encountered them. What beautiful snakes!

11.01.2022 A great photo of a green tree snake sent in by a customer! They were relieved to hear it was just a tree snake and were keen to keep him around.

10.01.2022 I just witnessed the end of the coolest thing ever!!!! A green tree frog eating a Coastal Taipan the 3rd most Venomous snake in the world at Stuart tonight... ...I couldnt save the snake but I hope frog survives as it was bitten multiple times while it was eating it.

10.01.2022 This is the right way to react! Grab the dog and put it inside. :)

08.01.2022 Note to motorbike riders... Check before riding!!

08.01.2022 A cute little visitor in our peach tree! Green tree snakes are very common and safe to have around the house.

08.01.2022 Live in the city to avoid snakes they said!

08.01.2022 Im often asked what snake tracks look like!

08.01.2022 Seen in a dam at Gatton. I can confirm its not the Loch Ness Monster however the exact species is anyone's guess!

06.01.2022 Two giant festive snakes spotted in the Queensland outback!

05.01.2022 Today snakecatchers.com received it's 300 000 visitor!

04.01.2022 Its hot and dry in much of Australia at the moment so remember to check pool skimmer boxes and rain water tanks before putting your hands in. Snakes often find their way in when chasing food sources, seeking shelter from the harsh heat or to help them shed their skin.

03.01.2022 There seems to be a lot of hype lately about snakes ending up in toilets. Yes it definitely happens! They seem to come up from the sewers.

03.01.2022 Removed from a house in Albany Creek on Brisbane's north side! Take care this summer!

03.01.2022 Definitely have to recommend https://www.wildencounters.com.au for reptile shows on the Gold Coast and in the Brisbane area. I recently attended a birthday party and had the pleasure of meeting Katie and her reptile pets. The kids were entertained and everyone learned about her passion. The animals on display were her pets and were obviously cherished and well looked after. Everything from small to large snakes, various lizards and even a salt water crocodile!!
