Snake Be Gone

31/08/2025

With the official snake season starting tomorrow i am putting this out there.

If you have any of this netting sitting on the ground in a garage,shed or even over a tree please remove and dispose of it to keep the snakes moving around safe. Bin it or take it to the tip as it will strangle and kill a snake faster than you think.

If you have some and one ends up caught in it call me i will remove the snake and the netting.

The exact reason when someone says call a catcher because we have a licence or check on posts put up about wildlife sales this is why. It is HIGHLY regulated in Australia.

Prison term and fine for exploiting wildlife.

On the 1st of August 2024 Conservation Regulator officers assisted our federal colleagues from Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), executing a search warrant in Melbourne.

Last week, the accused faced court on both state and federal charges over the illegal trade and export of wildlife domestically and internationally. He was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison, with a minimum of 12 months for the federal offending.

As part of the investigation Conservation Regulator officers identified licence and permit breaches as well as breaches relating to appropriate housing of wildlife.

In sentencing for the state offences, the judge accepted the prosecution’s submission that the offending should not be trivialised as mere paperwork breaches, and that wildlife licence requirements are the foundation of the regulatory framework governing the keeping and trade of native wildlife. The accused was convicted on 11 state-based offences laid by the Conservation Regulator and was fined $5000.

Chief Conservation Regulator Kate Gavens said “This case is a great example of cooperation between agencies to prevent exploitation of Victoria’s wildlife. Our wildlife is protected and we will hold to account anyone who fails to meet their obligation to take proper care of native animals.”

Anyone needing a snake only 1st aid kit i can definitely recommend Black Snake Productions and how cool they now come in colours. I carry one to every job i do its always with me in the case something went wrong. They are super light so great for hiking beach walks or just plodding around in the garden. They are only for snake bites... no bandaids no antiseptic no other stuff to rummage through.

Something to teach yourself and kids. Reptiles including snakes aren't scary if treated safely.

They also are making changes in medicines.

Some wildlife info to keep an eye out for.

Echidna breeding season is underway and they are out and about in high numbers.

Echidnas have thousands of electroreceptors in their snouts that sense vibrations and help the native animals snuffle for food, similar to a platypus.

Echidnas should never be relocated.

Moving an echidna away from its home range can result in:

1. Disorientation and Stress
Echidnas know their home territory well—where to find food, shelter, and how to avoid predators. If moved, they can become stressed and disoriented, leading them to wander aimlessly or try to return home.

2. Starvation
In a new area, echidnas may not find familiar food sources (like ants and termites), leading to malnutrition or starvation.

3. Increased Risk of Death
When trying to return to their original home (which they often attempt), echidnas may cross dangerous roads, encounter unfamiliar predators, or die from exhaustion or dehydration.

4. Breeding Season Concerns
During breeding season, male echidnas roam long distances to find mates, and females prepare nesting burrows. Relocating them during this time can disrupt their natural behaviors and reproductive success.

5. Babies at Home
Female echidnas can have young in burrows that they leave alone while they go out to forage for food and it is critical that they are able to return. If they are ‘rescued’ or contained by well-meaning people while they are away from their young it can leave a young puggle to starve to death in the burrow.

What to Do Instead -

If an echidna is in danger (e.g., on a road or construction site):

* Do not handle echidnas unless absolutely necessary, and avoid using tools like shovels to move them
* Move it just off the road or out of immediate harm in the same direction it was going.
* Do not take it far from where you found it.
* Contact a local wildlife rescue if you're unsure or if injured

Even venomous snakes have their place in education day to day life and the way its sounding maybe even medical help for something very serious.

More proof these scammy repellers dont work. I have spoken to people myself and you would need 40hz to make enough vibration which a small plastic and solar device can't achieve.

📍 Snake Repellents

Snake repellents, whether scent-based or vibration-based, are generally ineffective at deterring snakes. While some people may report success, this is often due to the snake passing through the area naturally or being scared off by human presence, rather than the repellent itself.

Don’t be fooled and tricked into this nonsense! These false sense of security items fail! They simply don’t work!

The only legitimate way to remove a snake is to contact a licensed snake catcher like us!
