Everything is easy to get on the internet these days and they don't tell u that its highly illegal to own and use let alone DEADLY. If you do have one and want it disposed of feel free to contact me i will do it with no questions asked.

Just do not purchase them either call me i will safely and legally come and remove the snake from your property.

Another one... and his reported. Likely get a 10k + fine. DO NOT KILL SNAKES CALL A CATCHER ITS $9800 CHEAPER.

Enough is enough! Another snake killed for absolutely no reason 😕

A man on the Sunshine Coast called us over the weekend to come out and relocate a Red-Bellied Black Snake from his yard. Our team explained the process and the cost of the callout over the phone, and he AGREED, so one of our professional snake catchers headed straight over. Our catcher was 20 minutes into the drive and got within 3 minutes of the house when the man called to cancel as he had killed the snake himself. The snake was not doing anything, he simply became impatient and chopped it in half. This was after we clearly explained to him to keep a safe distance and that our catcher was on their way. Our catcher arrived and devastatingly took away the slaughtered snake. This man showed ZERO remorse and wasn’t sorry at all. In fact he was smiling. To top it off he refused to pay our callout fee to which he agreed to.

We are sick and tired of the way some members of the public treat our snakes and show little respect for our service. Thankfully it seems this is a small group of people, but it’s still not good enough. This man has been reported to the Department of Environment and Science this morning. With the evidence that we have provided, we hope there are consequences for his actions.

Whether you are a snake catcher, reptile lover, part of a snake ID group, volunteer, wildlife rescuer or just a member of the public, if you see someone doing the wrong thing relating to wildlife, we all have a responsibility to pull that person up and let them know the rules, or in an extreme case like this, report them.

At Sunshine Coast Snake Cachers, we care deeply for the wellbeing of our snakes and our community, so we aren’t scared to pull people up or report them. We want change, and we want more available and accessible education on snake safety for the public!

Thank you for your support

It's cooling down and snakes have slowed but they are still around causing havoc... 6:30 am call to Cranbourne Golf Club for a snake stuck in a sprinkler head lid. Thanks to the amazing staff for the help this morning to safely release this copperhead.

This makes me so annoyed. What if it wasnt a dangerous snake. Imagine someone told you to lay down and put a shovel to your head. IT'S HIGHLY ILLEGAL AND COULD COST YOU NEAR ON A NICE CAR IN FINES. Pay the small call out fee and have it relocated safely and legally.

Although this story is going to be sad to share, we believe it’s extremely important to spread awareness on animal cruelty and some of the unfortunate circumstances we experience every week within our job.

Yesterday Ella received a call from a customer in Caboolture that had a brown coloured snake in their garage. Ella began organising the job so we could get someone there within 15 minutes to safely relocate the snake.

Before Ella was able to grab a name and address, the customer said not to worry as their dad has a shovel so he can deal with it. Ella quickly explained that he must not go near the snake or hurt it and that we will be there asap.

Unfortunately Ella then heard the ear piercing sound of the shovel against their garage floor. While Ella was trying to understand what was going on, the customer proceeded to say the snake is now dead and they are all good, and then they hung up the phone. Ella attempted to reach them again but no answer.

This poor snake lost its life simply because somebody was raised under the disgusting education that “a good snake is a dead snake.” This snake would have been absolutely petrified and trying its best to get away, but instead got split in half by a scared human.

This is not only illegal, but it is also very unnecessary. There is ALWAYS an alternative to killing a snake, and we would have offered that if we got the chance the speak before harm was done. This call was extremely distressing to listen to, and we hope that with our social media reach, we can help change other peoples perspectives on snakes too.

We will be passing their number onto the Department, but unfortunately that is the only information of theirs that we have. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this, hopefully you can understand our perspective and how upsetting this is.

Some info from ambulance vic. Even in the cooler weather snakes can still be around although slower and less likely to strike its not impossible.
