Well it certainly was a beautiful winter’s day to drive almost 3 hours to the lovely town of Merredin and teach people how to safely catch and release venomous snakes….

So I did!

Fantastic day teaching folks from the Shire of Merredin, Shire of Tammin and Shire of Kellerberrin. Great bunch of people, who all had loads fun (surprisingly, to some 🤣), in a safe and controlled environment, with some of the coolest snakes you will see, including Georgie the St George Mulga and Dazza The Dugite - who was in fine form today 🤣.

I will be on the road again in a few weeks for another course, but if you would like to learn the incredibly useful Australian skill of how to catch a venomous snake, message or email us on here!

The end of an absolutely massive weekend for us, finishing with a venomous snake relocation course for some locals of the Shire of Menzies and some staff from the Thunderbox mine out near Leonora.

Over 6 hours or so, they learnt some of the basics of reptile biology and behaviour, snake bite first aid techniques, then how to safely catch and relocate a variety of venomous snakes.

All passing with flying colours, the biggest smiles, and the confidence they can now keep others safe in the community, and on site.

Such an epic day, capping off a crazy big week.

LAST CATCH OF THE SEASON! Or is it…..?

During the week we had some rather pleasant weather. Chilly in the air, but out in the sun, it was rather glorious.

So much so, this Dugite thought he’d make the most of it before settling in to brumate for the winter months.
He decided to casually just stroll - and sit - in the middle of a carpark in Maddington. Ya know, as you do.
Fortunately, he was content to hang out and wait for his uber (me) to take him to a more suitable bush spot.

While there are tracks of bush and creek throughout Maddington, and clearly these snakes have been living there a long time, it does make releasing them a bit hard.
It’s a fine line between saving a snake from humans, and releasing them close to where they are found but then potentially running into further hazards, or taking them further away, into better bushland, but it not being their home territory.

It is a legitimate struggle every time we do this, and all we can hope, is that we make the right decision every time.

A quick show and tell for the small crowd of concerned shop staff, and health look over, and then released into some large bush land.

As you can see, despite being warm to touch while basking in the sun, by the time we got to the release site (less than 10 mins), he was already cool enough that he didn’t just take off.
After I finished filming, I did take him a bit further in, and let him go under some dense cover, just to ensure he had time to get his bearings.

And remember, if you are interested in learning how to do what we do, in a safe, informative and controlled manner, we now offer venomous snake relocation courses.

Well with the warm weather not going anyway any time soon, we are still getting a few calls here and there.

Yesterday involved a beautiful juvenile dugite from an aged care home, and then and afternoon call to rescue a couple of nonna’s from a large lizard that had taken up residence in a storeroom.

Luckily, I had my mentee Nicole on hand, who had recently completed out Venomous Snake Relocation Training, and although this wasn’t a snake, it was a great chance for her to do her first ever reptile rescue!

She did an amazing job catching this cheeky King Skink, and this was one of those cases where we decide to not charge, as they are pensioners and life seems a little chaotic at present. Nicole was very happy to accept a donation of some home-made pesto though!

Quick, easy catch. And a nice release to go with it.

Super proud of Nicole for achieving something she has set a goal to do for quite some time now.

Show her some love in the comments 😉

Well Monday was a huge day!

I drove out to The Shire of Wyalkatchem to run my first regional Venomous Snake Relocation Training course.

An incredible day where all 5 participants did an amazing job learning theory, and then putting everything into practice.
They even went so far to say that it was the best training course of any kind, that they have done.

I could genuinely not be any happier with how it went, and so proud of this gang.

We will be heading out to other shires soon, and running more local courses soon.

If you’re interested in learning an incredible and useful (especially in Australia) skill, email me at [email protected] and secure your spot.

An epic day today teaching folks how to safely catch and release venomous snakes.

These 5 legends got up close and personal (safely, of course) with a variety of Australia’s coolest venomous snakes.

Learning about reptile biology and behaviour, and then putting the skills into use.

Great work guys. You all smashed it!

Here is the video footage from the Dugite v Bobtail encounter yesterday.

Unfortunately, the result was not 100% what we wanted. Snakes expel a lot of energy to catch and subdue a meal, and although we tried to let the snake eat in peace, it got a little spooked and took off.

Given we were there to relocate the snake, we needed to grab it, and it did let the lizard go.
The snake now lives in a safe environment where it can easily find its next meal before winter brumation, and the bobtail… is hopefully ok.

While it’s never nice to see an animal die, it would be a shame if it does and the snake didn’t get to eat it.

Nature is brutal sometimes, but that’s the reality.

Not ideal, but an interesting observation to document nonetheless.

When people tell you Bobtails keep snakes away….. show them this post.

It is a fallacy we hear time and time again, and despite telling people it’s not true, some of those people refuse to believe us.

This dugite in Kalamunda this morning, was having brunch consisting of a baby bobtail.
We tried not to disturb him so he could finish his meal, but unfortunately he got spooked enough and tried to take off, eventually letting its meal go.

Somehow, the bobtail was still alive, so the resident had taken it to Kanyana Wildlife. Don’t have high hopes, and if it doesn’t survive, it’s a wasted effort for the snake unfortunately. It can be hard to let nature takes it course sometimes, so hopefully this is a good outcome for both animals.

With dugite fangs being so small, and bobtail scales being so hard, we were unsure if the lizard had actually been envenomated, although the snake did have the lizard by the face, so… who knows.

Anyway, enjoy the photos. I took an opportunity to to take some proper camera photos of the encounter, and a couple pics of the beautiful hills spot we released the snake.

Helloooooo lovely people!

Well, it has been a little while since we have managed to catch some decent sized snakes to show. Hatchling dugite season usually means it’s dominated by small snakes being caught.
But as this is slowly coming to a close, the big ones start appearing again. Like this one!

Spotted and contained in a backyard in Forrestfield this evening, the residents did an amazing job of keeping an eye on it. Luckily it felt safe wedged in between some limestone blocks, making it an easy catch.

A special shoutout to young Gracie who was super keen to help me ID the species using her “Snakes of Western Australia: What Snake Is That?” Field guide.
A super brave, inquisitive 3 year old, who was cautiously excited to see the Dugite!
Couldn’t have done it without you Gracie 😉
