Rainy day snakes and a magical surprise! 🎁 (see pics)
It’s been raining for ages but the snakes are not done yet for the season.
While they do prefer warmer days, some snakes will still appear while the top day-time temperatures are ranging in the low twenties.
They are slower in the cold weather but snakes can still deliver a fast and hard bite so always keep a safe distance from any snake. Be on the lookout and please call if you need help.

Missy the rat detective, on the job again 🖤

If an eastern brown snake is seen only occasionally visiting your property, it’s most likely because they detect rodents settling in 🏡
🥜🐭
If you can find the nest/hang out first and eradicate it, the snake won’t need to come.

Missy is very special, is very good at and absolutely loves a (closely supervised) rodent hunt!
If your dog is a ratter like Missy, spend quality time together and hone in on those detective skills. She found a mouse family in these feed bags which explains why the snake had been sniffing around there 😎🦮
Or call ☎️ Missy for help finding that rat🐾 😏

Chauncey is very brave bunny from Ballina.
She got a big fright at first when she saw that there was a large coastal carpet python draped over her cage. She let out a little scream for help and hid away!
Realising that the latch had come loose in her hiding place, she rather went to wait (for me to arrive) face-to-face with the snake, luring it to where the cage was secure.
Being calm she was able to make this life-saving decision and having a close bond with her human mum, she knew that help would come ♥️

Such a clever little rabbit! And what a beautiful, calm coastal carpet python who went off to go hunt something out in the wild…🐀🐍🌳💚

When you’re trying to shop but customers think you’re a toy for sale 🙄 or just trying to chill under a sombrero after a feed… the adventurous life of a common/green tree snake! 🪜🐍
They are harmless, animated and beautifully coloured, the bright yellow underbelly is one of their identifying characteristics and, of course, they are expert climbers, always checking out small cavities for frogs, their favourite food 🐸

Thank you to the ladies Just Crazy Bargains in Goonellabah for their excellent snake-minding skills again, it’s so important to keep watching the snake you’ve reported so we can find it without turning your place upside down🙃

I got to spend a little time with my customer yesterday while we waited for her coastal carpet python visitor to finish having a feed.

You always allow a snake to finish eating a meal before disturbing it. Catching live food is a lengthy and challenging process, is risky for the snake too so we give space and respect to the animals to do their thing.
•Remember to regularly check your cages and enclosures for snake proofing as rats make holes in wire mesh to access grains and seeds.
•Remember to keep cats indoors as they hunt the same places as snakes.

If you see a python in a funny place, like threaded in a hedge, or dangling its head down while pretending to sleep…you may be about to witness a bit of hunting action… 🫣🐀🐍🌴🌳

Most of the time when there is a missing snake in a room it’s very tiny and tricky to find. This one tried very hard to be tiny but left me a big clue (a shed skin) and then slept in the toy truck inside the wardrobe.
It was a wonderful thing to meet such a mature, wise snake. The only thing to do was to help this respectable local resident gently back outside.. 🥰🐍 Safe Snake Services - Lismore & surrounds ☎️ 045 873 2022

An incredible dragon species we have right here in the heart of the Northern Rivers!🦎🌳
This beautiful male Southern angle-headed dragon is a secretive species living in our rain forests!
They are arboreal tree-dwelling masters of camouflage. They dash around…and freeze, kinda like the musical statues game🎶!
We were so lucky to spend some time with and release this gentle little chap back to his forest at Booyong. He had been found on the ground by a hiker looking a bit lethargic. After a check-up at the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital and some time in care with one of our volunteer wildlife organisations, he was ready to go home♥️
Here is a short video of his release, accompanied by the sound of the ever-present eastern whipbird 🦎🩶🙂📢🐦‍⬛

Some snakes love it in the linen cupboard. Nice crisp, clean bedding for a sssleepy sssnake.
This is a typical result when searching a home for a brown tree snake. They like a little dark and quiet privacy with their comfort, just like us!

There is nothing as beautiful as freedom…😇🦋
Lucky Lucy, the chimney-carpet python from Lismore went home after two months in care. Lucy had sustained a deep cut into the oesophagus (from falling down a chimney, landing in a ladies living room) and required deep suturing and plenty of time to heal.
She leapt out the bag with such zest that I barely managed to get a decent pic!
Long live Lucy! And thank you to Dr Megan for doing such a good job stitching her up 🐍🪡

TWO skimmer box snake rescues yesterday morning, one at Pearces Creek and the other at Eltham.
Please remember to check your pool and skimmer box for small trapped animals! Leaving a pool floaty in the water will help save anything from drowning, including frogs!

SNAKE SAFETY -A snakes first reaction is NOT to bite if you expose them underneath an object. They’ll move along 🐍🪨
If you want to move stuff and you think there’s a snake hiding…don’t worry. All you have to do is be slow, calm and careful and your garden friend will just move on to another hiding place. Use a long-handled tool to roll rocks or carefully lift or push other objects. Have your gloves & boots on.

If you prepare well and remove all possible hiding places where you don’t want anything hiding and close any doors that are in sight, your snake will go somewhere else where he or she feels safe.
Snakes doooo live amongst us so remember to look 👀 before you garden, use a leaf blower to clean up around the outside of the house and be safe by using common sense, protective clothing and make sure all households have a snake-bite first aid kit & know how to use it.
Keep animal feeds and food scraps away from rodents as they attract snakes.
Put water out for wildlife, away from the house & dogs 💦🐍
Safe Snake Services -we are there for you for any advice or help with a snake, no need to let them stress you out.

See below how the snake goes from one object to another, just trying to avoid me.

Eastern brown snake hatchling! Just look at those stripes! This highly venomous little chap was caught by a dog and has a tail injury. Let’s hope for a full recovery.. ❤️‍🩹🐍

Brown snakes continue to be out and about aand their offspring so always be snake aware.

Remember that baby snakes are a vital part of the food chain keeping some of our important bird species alive (like kookaburras) while those few snakes that survive into adulthood keep us safe from rodent invasion🐭🧠
Be nice to snakes! Call us if you would like some 🐍help or advice.

Last post of the year to say a big thank you to Dr Jade and her brilliant vet nurses at the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital for taking on this emergency patient on Christmas Eve a week ago. I was lucky to be able to assist the with this snake who I rescued from a home in Lismore.
“Little Ducky” the juv eastern brown snake (dangerously venomous) had become bonded to duct tape and was in a seriously sticky life-threatening situation. Dr Jade also found other injuries that needed micro-surgery, and she did some pretty impressive work! 👩🏻‍⚕️🤩😮‍💨
Little Ducky is doing very well in care.

Please call for help if you find any animal with a sticky substance on their bodies. Duct tape, builders tape, fly tape etc are extremely harmful and hazardous so please dispose of sticky things appropriately, ensuring they cannot stick to anything once it goes to landfill.

Baby eastern brown snake in Goonellabah this time, going for a swim…when the resident saw the snake was struggling in the water, she gave him/her a chair to rest on while waiting for help!What a legend! 🤩
Eastern brown snakes of all ages, shapes and sizes are dangerously venomous and best left to do their snake business undisturbed.
On these super-hot days you might find snakes cooling off in and around water so please look before you swim and if you see a snake just give it a chance to see you so it can leave or if it’s unable to get away, give us a call.

Summer in Australia! 🐍☀️💦🍉
Remember to hydrate in this heat! Aaand to leave water out for wildlife so they can too! This dangerously venomous baby eastern brown snake went looking to cool off at a swimming pool at Tregeagle this morning, fell in, and luckily found a boogy-board to climb on to.
Leaving something floating around in the pool will help animals find safety if they fall in.

Lucky Lucy the Python entered a Lismore house through the chimney causing quite a stir…it’s a little early for That! 🦌
When I arrived on scene, Lucky Lucy was still in the fireplace and I noticed she had a deep wound below the neck.
An emergency consult at Vitality Vetcare in Bangalow, Dr Megan and nurse Katy took beautiful care cleaning up and suturing some pretty complex injuries. It was very lucky she survived as the cut had almost extended into her oesophagus.
Lucky Lucy won’t be home in time for Christmas but she’s doing well in care and she’ll be back home scaling the rooftops…maybe in time for valentines day… ❤️🥰
Jen, thank you for reporting this beautiful snake, we so look forward to her release back where she belongs 💝🐍
So much appreciation for the volunteer hours and dressings and meds from Dr Megan at Vitality Vetcare 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Saturdays snake was curious and sweet, this Goonellabah local was found snoozing comfortably in amongst some stuffed toys (see comments) in a home. Back outside, s/he came to give me a close look a few times before finding a more convenient place to rest 🧸🐍 Safe Snake Services ☎️0458 732 022 ☎️

Concrete slabs under houses…Rat heaven! Where snakes also come to feast. The perfect habitat pictured here is at a house in Lismore. In the next day or two we are going to help sort this problem out to show you how you could approach a similar problem. I removed this snake but there was another. If you can gently, safely and harmoniously get a snake to leave it’s a much more permanent solution. Who knows where a relocated snake ends up going to for safety when they’re displaced and lost…? They are territorial and always head back in the direction of their home. A happy snake IS a safe snake. We can minimise the risk of being bitten by being considerate and kind 😌 Now the rats are a whole other issue. Does anyone have any of their own rat remedies that is not poison or trap to other creatures? I’ve heard that putting clipped dog hair (we have a giant, hairy poodle, so well-equipped there:) will deter predators like foxes and rats….? If I hear rats in my walls or ceilings I play them some YouTube sounds of rats in distress, they are available for this particular purpose, and they leave after some perseverance. Or I’ll put a python in my ceiling if I have one to relocate from my area. Any good tips out there? Remember rat poisons kill very important birds 🦅 that eat rodents. Sticky traps also catch lizards, tiny birds and all sorts of insects and snakes 🐞🦋 Bird netting is very hazardous as it catches anything that tries to get past it and a trapped snake is very camouflaged and dangerous. There is wildlife-friendly netting available if that’s your preferred way 🙂👍 🐍SSS -0458732022-💚🦅🦇🦎🐦‍⬛

Exploring dark ceilings is totally worth it when you find a pair of beautiful common tree snakes ‘cuddling’ up in the corner. They sounded HUGE from inside the house so it was sweet relief for the householder too that they were just harmless tree snakes! 💛🐍💚 Give SSS🐍 a call if you want to explore what the thumping and the bumping is all about up there 🤔 Safe Snake Services or SSS, if you’re in a hurry:)… 0458 732 022

Yay! Freedom! This little venomous small-eyed snake from Rosebank was literally unable to go anywhere when s/he found themselves on a shiny kitchen floor, too slippery to gain any traction and was like that for quite some time. What a terrifying predicament! As you can see, back to nature, no problem getting around. But being a nocturnal snake, this guy just wanted back in the dark bag🥹🐍🪵🌱 Safe Snake Services -SSS🐍 0458732022

The shape of snakes▪️🔸🐍🔺🔹…this suspiciously cat-shaped python demonstrates the almighty strength of a constrictor-type snake as s/he drags him/herself up a young tree after having a good feed. This python is telling us that you should lock your cats indoors from dawn to dusk, even during winter!🙀⚠️🐍 Call Safe Snake Services - Lismore & surrounds for help with snakes 🤙🏽🐍🏃🏻‍♀️🏃 #shamelessdub

The only good snake is a…..snake that saves lives! A true story we love sharing is one of an eastern brown snake at Lindendale in early august last year. A young lady noticed continuous tapping from a distressed-looking ‘brown snake’ on her glass sliding door…🤔 It’s a very alarming thing when a dangerously venomous snake is knocking on your door. On closer inspection she found a second snake in distress too. That is when she decided to pick up the phone, take a short vid and call Safe Snake Services. The second snake was trapped with the lower half of its body stuck in a small hole on the house. You can see in the video how the second snake looks really worried. The moment she got off the phone the door-knocking snake fled the scene and waited not too far away. The snake was begging for help! We arrived within half an hour and got straight to rescuing snake 2 which took some careful manoeuvring but s/he was freed and went off in the same direction as his/her life-saving mate. It is truly our (and all living creatures) natural born instinct to be kind and loving before being deadly and defensive as this lovely lady and the snake have demonstrated. I have more brown snake stories from this season that I love. I’ll share them as the season gets quieter but remember that snakes do not hibernate, they go into torpor or brumation which means they emerge on nice warm days for a quick feed…🐤🐭🐸 Please call us if you need help or advice with a snake ☎️Safe Snake Services 0458732022 📞🐍
