21.01.2022 This little Freckled Monitor (Varanus tristis orientalis) came in today with some cat bite wounds. I’ve only ever seen 3 in 20yrs here and they are all from the same area! Very cool little lizard and they do grow a little bigger than this. It has a few sutures now and started on antibiotics and pain relief and hopefully will be ok to go back to where he came from in a few wks. Stay tuned!

20.01.2022 Trip to Balgal Beach this morning for this stunning common tree snake! #snakenurse

20.01.2022 Some excellent advice from Nature 4 You

18.01.2022 WHY DID THE TURTLE CROSS THE ROAD? Well... to get to the other side! Now they safely can, thanks to Phillip England ... In recent months we have recieved many calls through our wildlife phone about turtles crossing the road from the Borrow pits to the Ross River. Many turtles have been hit by cars while crossing the road as well as other wildlife that have been searching for a larger water source. Phillip England our turtle coordinator, has been to the borrow pits countless times trying to help our little reptillian creatures safely cross this dangerous stretch of road. He's also been caring for some of the turtles that have been hit by cars and have sustained injuries, mostly cracked shells. On the 28th of July, Phillip took a stand for the turtles and emailed our deputy mayor Mark Molachino about the issue and his voice was heard! Mark Molachino stated that he had noticed the growing number of dead animals in that area over recent months. Last week two signs were put up near the Borrow pits to alert drivers of the high volume of turtles and other animals that cross in this area. The Borrow pits are considered to be a wildlife watching attraction in Townsville, hopefully with these new signs it can continue to be!

17.01.2022 Download the app and contribute to frog research! Starts tomorrow!

17.01.2022 A South Australian snake catching page but great explanation and public comments about why there are callout charges. It’s 1130pm at night, I’ve already had 2 callouts and I work a normal day job as well. Insurance, equipment, fuel, vehicle maintenance, not to mention my time. Townsville callout fees are a lot less than our southern states, please respect when we ask for a callout fee

17.01.2022 Sadly Madgi passed away. I thank Magnetic Island Network for Turtles so much for doing their best to save her. Please keep donating to help them save more of our precious sea turtles RIP Magdi

16.01.2022 Anyone see yesterday’s Townsville Bulletin? :)

14.01.2022 Pls donate to help Madgi

12.01.2022 Hey guys. Pls head over to MINT and donate to help Madgi. She is still not out of the woods this is the turtle I rescued a few wks ago https://www.gofundme.com/f/magnetic-island-turtle-hospital-

10.01.2022 One of my latest guys in care!

09.01.2022 Snakes have feeling and emotion too. Here a mother stands protecting her eggs even though she has been beaten and injured severely. Please don’t harm or kill snakes. They have a right to live

08.01.2022 Don’t forget about our wildlife. Put a dish of water out for them or a container. Make sure there is a stick in it so animals don’t drown

07.01.2022 In response to the days lengthening and as the temperature begins to warm up, snakes are out and about more now looking for food and a mate. It is crucial that we are careful to safeguard our pets from snake bites and watch out for the warning signs that our pets have been bitten. Armed with curiosity and natural hunting instincts, it’s not uncommon for our favourite four legged friends to attempt to chase or kill snakes, putting themselves at risk of bites. If you see a snak...Continue reading

06.01.2022 This Coastal Taipan was presented DOA sadly. But I took advantage of taking some pictures for you all to see. The snake was just over 5ft long and was removed by my good friend Jamie. As you can see, it has orange spots on its belly similar to that of an eastern brown snake. So don’t think that all spotted bellies mean it’s a brown!! Stay safe everyone. Breeding time is here and males are very active.

04.01.2022 EXCELLENT video by Rhys explaining the defensive behaviour of an Eastern Brown snake. *NOTE he does not service the Townsville area

03.01.2022 Get on and support our local Koala rescue on magnetic island!
