Some info on the blue tongue vs snake myth.

Do blue-tongue lizards keep snakes away?

We’ve seen this claim doing the rounds, but is it actually true?

One Aussie snake catcher says it’s one of the biggest backyard myths out there.

Yes, blue-tongue lizards are great garden guests, but they’re not on official snake patrol.

Being a snake catcher isn't always "THERE'S A SNAKE IN MY YARD" sometimes its a machine transported from QLD that has a python in it. Unfortunately i couldn't find it but we have a security camera on the open machine to see if it pops back out.

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.

This is what AUGUST to APRIL does to my shirts. Left is new right is a season. Heat and long days and nights can be hell on even good quality work shirts.

Also a massive thank you to Tanya Wood for the amazing design and Totally Workwear wonthaggi for the prompt print and embroidery work.

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
