I am NOT A PUBLIC SERVICE. I am a private business. DO NOT THREATEN ME. I will NOT stand for that.
If you ring and I don't answer, it's because I'm not available.
I will never go somewhere I don't feel safe. Regardless of your situation. Trying to bully me is not going to work.
I will pass any threats on to the police.

I have recently had surgery. I will be unavailable for another 4 weeks.
All the Mackay catchers work together and share jobs. Here is the list of catchers.
Jed is also only available for advice due to private medical reasons.

I caught this coastal carpet python the other day from a lady's workplace in West Mackay.
I think it's male and has been fighting with another male. He has paint all over him. Naughty boy.
The things we do for love. Lol

This presentation is coming back to Mackay. I went to the last one and it is brilliant! It's inexpensive and educational. These guys have so much reptile knowledge. David Barwell has been one of my mentors and without him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I highly recommend going to this.

If you're afraid of snakes, this is for you! Knowledge is power. So many people came to the last one and actually came up and looked, touched or held a snake at the end. It was brilliant!
If you camp or hike. Live in our district where you are likely to come across a snake at some point and don't know how to react, this is for you.
If you're a teacher or supervisor and need to pass on snake safety information, this is for you.
If you're a family who has kids and want to know what to teach them, this is for you.
This is a great, factual presentation on snake species, snake bite first aid, snake awareness and behaviour. It is all the good stuff along with seeing some cool live snakes too. You'll even get to hold some if you want to.

Go along. You'll be glad you did.

URGENT!
WE NEED TO FIND WHO HAS THIS SNAKE!
Floki is a much loved pet. He escaped his enclosure, a neighbour relocated him to East Mackay near the volleyball courts.
On FRIDAY HE WAS FOUND AND SOMEONE HAS PICKED HIM UP FROM A PROPERTY.
We need to know who this was.
Please contact admin or any of the catchers or IDers. We need to get this very loved pet back home.
No questions asked.
