Three jobs today, our first was a no show, we attended a property in where a snake had been coming in and out of a crack between a house and a concrete walkway. Unfortunately, our camera couldn't go around a corner, and after trying a few things had to call it quits ... But we did get a motion sensor camera setup, so once it leaves the gaps can be blocked up. A snake was seen two houses away a few days ago, lots of construction going on in this street, so it's possibly the same snake being displaced and trying to find where he fits into the ecosystem.

Our second job, and second clip in this video is worth a watch...you can see the exploring its new surroundings and looking for a new home. They actually are very inquisitive animals. Well, this snake was found in someone's bathroom in . We found a few potential entry points and offered advice to fix. It was an older house, if you have older houses, it's a very good idea to regularly check the plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom areas for holes...inside and outside.

Next was another in . This little fellow was hiding under some cement blocks used as a step. The family doggo got close to it, so off to the vets for a checkup.

Three jobs today...two snakes, both . I'll tell you the stories, but then I'll elaborate on the video as there are some interesting things to see.

Job one was a house in . Third time attending this house, first was a false alarm, a lizard in a wood box. Next was a real alarm, a in the bathroom. Today, they were sitting out the front yard when the doggo became super curious about some new drainage partially installed...when the humans came closer they heard a big rustle and called me. They were unsure what was there. We came out, lifted the gutter, and found an .

Next we went to to a retirement village where a snake was seen in a backyard. We checked a few backyards but no luck. Staff did an initial check but couldn't find it, but they weren't confident enough to check behind one cupboard so wanted us to do it.

Next off to where a snake had been seen yesterday, and this morning, and again this afternoon, in the same spot. There was a very large hole going under an old dead grape vine, also, right near where the cars are parked, and by the gate and steps leading down to the house. We found the snake in its home, and gave it a new home down by a local water way...with plenty of new holes to explore.

Watch the second clip in this video...people say eastern browns will chase you, I'm the one chasing this snake ..oh, btw, it's name is Jim, slim Jim.

Let's do it a little differently today...in the video, there are three snakes. It's your job to match each snake up with each job. Also, can you identify each snake in the video

Our first job was in where a was hiding in some rocks along the side of a footpath from the door to the car. We found him curled up under rock number two.

Job number two was in where this snake had been seen numerous times this week in the veggie garden. Today, it was almost stepped on, so it was time to get evicted, we appreciate all your hard work in the past...but, it's a bit too much, sorry, we will have to let you go.

Job number three was seen in an outdoor patio area, and moved off towards their bird aviaries. We ended up finding it behind a bar fridge (who remembers what makes bar fridges a happy place for a snake?). Unfortunately, it was such a tight spot, that I got stuck and couldn't reach it, and it then fled into the wall...from here I hulk punched into the wall and grabbed it like agent smith grabbing Morpheus in the matrix.

Everyone, this turtles named lucky shell, wish him a safe journey... If you rub his shell he will grant you good luck for the next 12 months.

He was crossing the road from lake to the land on the other side when I drove past. Moments after moving him, two trucks came past. One very licky .

Remember, if you do see a turtle on the road, you can move help them by moving them off the road in the direction they are travelling...even if it's away from the water. Just be prepared to get a bit stinky 🦨, as when feeling scared, they p*e themselves and it's quite strong.

Today we attended two jobs, but had a few other calls as well.

In we attended a call where a snake was seen under the water pump by a water tank. Unfortunately,when we arrived it was nowhere to be found.

In , ambulance Victoria called us as a worker saw a snake outside their depot. Unfortunately, it took a few hours to make the call to us, but we went out anyway and had a look for them. There was definitely some items of concern we noted, so this advice was passed onto staff.

We also had a call in where a was in someones yard, but it ended up moving out into the front yard whilst on the phone to us. An hour later it was seen next door eating a frog.

We had a call from , on Monday, their doggos ☠️ a snake, it wasn't until last night that things went down hill for the doggo (everything is fine now) It is uncommon, but it can definitely take a long time for the effects To occur... especially in giant doggos like Dobermans. If you ever see a pet with a snake... ALWAYS contact a vet...don't wait for signs. They called thinking there might be a second snake around. This is not impossible either. So we offered them advice moving forward, the normal yard maintenance stuff, water location, plus supervising outdoor play times in the hotter seasons ... We also suggested training, as this doggo had a very high prey drive.

Another call in , where the snake was seen half an hour prior whilst mowing, they continued mowing then called us. They did not know where the snake was by that point.

Today we attended three jobs, and passed a few onto some other catchers whilst we were on the other side of town.

We also filled up petrol twice (someone wanted to know how many km we do per day...that's the best you get atm. Lol)

Well, job one was at a lovely little farm with lots of puppies...out near . I got so many puppy licks. The snake was seen hanging out by some old guttering down by a creek, which is also close to the house. We moved the gutter no snake. But there was an old carpet there too...and that's where we found this . It's quite unique too, it was almost cream coloured. It was also lightning quick, I went for its tail and ended up nearly grabbing it by the head when it moved...a good reason to leave this to the professionals...sometimes, it's not as easy as we make it look.

Next we trotted off to where a workplace had their pest control guys over checking the bait stations, where they found another curled up in it. Out we went, and found the snake with a mouse trap on its tail. This can often cause some damage to the snake... So we did a close examination, and mobility test and it turns out this snake is very lucky with no injuries.

And we had an interesting job in as well. A retirement village called in a snake out the front of a home. We said to sit and watch...that is all. Unfortunately some over excited staff decided to hose down the bush it was hiding in, and get to cutting into the bush, so by the time we got there, the snake was gone. Whilst they were "watching" this snake, another house behind them called in a second snake. So we also went and checked that one out as well, a lovely garden but no snake, as everyone was watching the first one, no one was watching the second, we looked, but no joy. Earlier that day, it turns out another had been spotted as well...this village...every house has beautiful garden...so we offered some suggestions to improve safety at the village, beautiful gardens are beautiful for wildlife...including snakes.

Some important camping tips

It's almost holiday season. High school has already finished, primary schools aren't far behind. Then it will be Xmas and new year. Many people spend this time outdoors camping. So here are a few snake safe camping tips.

Bring a rake with you, before set-up, rake the area thoroughly. This will improve visibility around your site.

Space things out, don't pile everything together.

Always put your empty bags in storage tubs until needed during pickup. You don't want to pull out a bag to put a chair in and find a snake in it.

Pet water, put in a clear open area, not under a tree, not against the tent or cooking gazebo.

Set up away from logs and rocks.

Always keep your tents zipped up... always.

Always keep your mobile phone on you at all times, if you are bitten by a snake, sit down immediately and call 000

Ones added by followers
Don't leave shoes outside
Bring a first aid kit...but make sure it also has the appropriate snake first aid equipment too.

Do you have any others...let us know in the comments and we will add it to the post :)

Today we attended two jobs...but we also had an interesting video sent into us of a looking for tadpoles to munch on. We also had a call out in where someone saw a tail disappear under a out door lounge. It ended up being a .

Onto the jobs, our first call was a snake in , it was seen going into a rock garden bed. We searched under every rock and plant, no snake could be found.

The second job was in where a was seen by a water heater, where it then headed under a paver stone. When we arrived, that's where we found it.

Well, our fir

One of my long time friends...is a fantastic musician. Obviously I'm a little biased because it's a friend. And obviously good music is subjective. She regularly performs at a few places up north, but posts lots of her stuff on her page. She has a great opportunity to go on tour with Pete Murray. Have a listen to some of her stuff, and help her out.

A few lessons from today. But also an awesome video of a swimming snake.

Job number one was an in . It was seen going into a small geranium bush whilst the lawns were being mowed. Supposedly...snakes don't like geraniums...well, this one didn't seem to mind...if you have heard this before, maybe think again? Anyways, the normal questions were asked and I established that there was no way for the snake to leave unseen. When I arrived, a very very thorough search revealed no snake. They swore black and blue that they had been watching. I broke down the chain of events a bit more thoroughly. What happened was, whilst on the ride on mower, the snake was seen going into the bush. They continued mowing for about fifteen minutes...sometimes with their back to the bush. Then parked the mower and called us, then sat there and watched. Next I told them the story about how I attended a property with CCTV, we watched the snake leave a bush, and head straight under the chair the person watching was sitting on ... They were scrolling on their phone and didn't even see it go under their feet. They then admitted that, "yeah, I was on my phone". An important lesson here people. When we say watch...we mean watch. The next job has the complete opposite result.

Next we went to where someone was getting ready to put an old box from a fridge in the bin, when a fell out of it. They dropped the box and ran. After calling us out, they sat there and watched the box. We arrived, pulled the soggy box apart and found this lovely tiger snake.

We also had a few other calls that didn't turn into jobs. One was another in a garden that fled the scene of the crime.
