Late call out for a 1.8m(6ft) Eastern Brown Snake in Seymour. It was hiding underneath the decking. The dog alerted the owners to its location. The dog wasn't harmed and the snake successfully released back where it belongs. The property owners did an awesome job of keeping an eye on the snake until I could get there.
Today I also relocated a 75cm Red Bellied Black Snake from inside a square compost bin. It also has been successfully relocated.

Today's Lowland Copperhead release from the Bylands job. It displayed a defensive lunge and flattened out to make itself look bigger while I was watching where it was going.
3 Calls Today.
The first to a local primary school where a student thought that they seen a snake go under a pile of leaves. When I arrived I thoroughly inspected the area and I found an Eastern Blue Tongue lizard where the suspected snake was sighted.
The second was a trip to Wallan for a 80cm long Lowland Copperhead that had found its way inside of a shed. The snake was successfully removed and relocated.
The third was to Bylands for a 1m long Lowland Copperhead that was found inside the property owners wood shed. This snake was also successfully removed and relocated back where it belongs.
Check out Part 1 & 2 of the Wallan Lowland Copperhead release, then the release of the Bylands Lowland Copperhead. This snake had a few old battle scares on it that were fully healed.

Multiple calls again today but as usual I am only 1 person. I'm sorry to everyone that I couldn't attend to but hopefully you got ahold of one another catcher who's numbers I sent you.
Today was up to Seymour for an Eastern Brown Snake that was hiding out under a concrete slab for a bird avery. After some time patience and persistence I ended up removing a 1.2m Eastern Brown Snake.
From there I got called over to Heathcote for a snake that was sunbaking in a chicken coop. When I got there it had moved. I throughly searched inside, outside and everywhere else I could possibly see but still after well over a hour of searching I come up empty handed.
Remember respect snakes and they will respect you.
If you need my assistance please give me a call on 0419 877 339. If I can't get to you I will do my best to provide other catchers numbers for you to contact.

This afternoon I recieved 7 calls for assistance which I only could attend to 2 as the rest were 50+ kilometers in the oppisite direction to where I got called to first which was Mangalore and whilst I was there I recieved a call for Avenel. At Mangalore I couldn't find the snake that was sighted after a throughly searching for it. At the call for Avenel I removed and relocated a 1m long Eastern Brown Snake from under some concrete sleepers that the property owner was moving whilst cleaning up their yard. The snake has now been successfully relocated away from human interaction.
To everyone that I couldn't attend to I am sorry but I did my very best to arrange other catchers numbers for you to try and call. It sucks to be one person that can only be in 1 place at a time.
If you need my assistance please give me a call on 0419 877 339.
