Stewy the Snake Catcher, Werribee (2025)

14/09/2025

This video was taken at 12:15am. A few flare ups here and there but at 2:30am it was mostly out. I got to the scene at 6pm and I have just walked in the door now at 3:10am. Managed to move 6 Tiger snakes from harms way, along with a couple of native water rats. Thankfully, to this point no wildlife has been found injured.

It’s important to remember that the fires will push snakes out of their natural habitat in search for somewhere safe, in this case the safest places are the homes of the residents right on the fringe of the fire area. If you are one of these residents, please be mindful of this. If you do see a snake please give me a call straight away. I will attend and check to see if the snake is injured. If it is we will get it to a vet asap, if it’s not injured we will safely relocate it.

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

All snake’s that live in our local area are dangerously venomous and should not be interacted with. Leave that to us. We are your trusted team of professional snake catchers, available 24/7. With more than 15 years of experience in safely handling and relocating snakes, we ensure prompt and reliable service for residential, commercial, and rural properties.

Our team of expert snake catchers will respond quickly to emergencies, helping to keep your family, pets, and property safe.

PLEASE DON’T PRANK CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES!

Everyone loves a prank call every now and again, but not when it’s happening on a regular basis. What’s even worse is when it’s diverting us from people that actually require our assistance urgently.

Last night I received a call from a man who sounded genuinely distressed about a snake in his house. He had tried a couple of other catchers who weren’t available before contacting me.

I advised him on how to make sure that the snake was contained properly so that his children would be safe until I was able to get there.

49kms each way just to arrive at the property and find out that no one at the property actually requested a snake catcher. I called the number back and was met with laughter from the people at the other end.

It’s extremely frustrating as while I was attending to this call out, my son was injured and required a trip to hospital and I was out chasing shadows.

I’m still contemplating on whether or not to post the numbers here so that everyone can prank call these jokers all hours of the day and night. (It’s not just happening to me, but to a number of other catchers also).

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

🩺🐍 Snake Antivenom: The process on how it’s made.

Ever wondered how we go from a venomous fang to a life-saving jab? It’s a wild ride involving snakes, horses, and a bit of biological wizardry. Let’s break it down in plain bush-speak.

🐍 Step 1: Venom Collection – AKA “Milking”
First, trained herpetologists gently “milk” venomous snakes—no, not like a cow. They coax the snake to bite into a container covered with a rubber membrane, collecting droplets of venom. It’s risky business, but someone’s gotta do it. This venom is the raw ingredient for antivenom, and each species has its own toxic cocktail.

🐴 Step 2: Immunizing the Horse.
Next, small, diluted doses of venom are injected into a donor animal—usually a horse, because they’re big, tough, and surprisingly chill about it. Over time, the horse’s immune system starts producing antibodies to fight the venom. Think of it like training a biological army.

🧪 Step 3: Harvesting the Antibodies
Once the horse is good and immunized, blood is drawn and the plasma (where the antibodies live) is separated out. Through a series of purification steps, scientists isolate the venom-fighting proteins. This is the golden stuff—your antivenom.

💉 Step 4: Administering the Antivenom
When someone cops a bite from a venomous snake, antivenom is given intravenously in hospital. It’s not a DIY bush remedy—this is serious gear. The antibodies in the antivenom latch onto the venom molecules, neutralizing them before they wreak havoc on your blood, nerves, or organs.

⚠️ Side Notes from the Bush
- Antivenom works best when given early
- It’s species-specific or region-specific. That’s why knowing your local snakes can be life-saving.
- Because it’s made from animal proteins, some people can have allergic reactions. Hospitals are ready for that too, which is why antivenom can only be administered by doctors at the hospital.

---

So next time you see a snake, give it a nod of respect. Its venom might be deadly, but thanks to science (and a few brave horses), we’ve got the antidote bottled and ready. Just don’t go testing it the hard way.

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.

Ok guys, bit of a serious post now.

If you happen to stumble across any wildlife that is injured, or in a precarious situation like this tiger snake that started the weekend with a can of Great Northern Brewing Co. Beer, getting its head stuck in the process, don’t just walk or drive past. Stop and call someone for assistance.

Thanks to the lovely people that came across this snake crossing the road and stopped to divert traffic, and call for help. The snake is now safe to be relocated back into its natural habitat.

Rubbish takes a huge toll on our wildlife. Please do the right thing and put rubbish in the bin.

Some useful information for Australians regarding snake bites now that the snake season has arrived!

3000 bites are reported annually.
300-500 hospitalisations
Average 2 deaths in Australia annually.
Average time for symptoms to show is 12 hours but each case is different.

There are lots of myths and wivestales surrounding snakes so do some research , ask questions from experts and use common sense in the bush or in the garden during the warmer months.

The management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season.

So basically there are four Victorian snakes that can harm us
Eastern Brown snake, Tiger Snakes, Red Bellied Black Snakes and Copperheads.

All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb. This venom generally can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site.

It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood.

Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body.

Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc.

Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck.

Back to the snake bite site.
When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues).

The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten.

So try to stay still, don’t panic, the venom can’t move if the victim doesn’t move.
Stay still ok

In the 1970s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further re**rd venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream.

A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (don’t wash the area).
The bandage combined with staying still will save your life

Technique:
Three steps: keep them still

Step 1
Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite.

Step 2:
Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin.
The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage.
MARK THE BITE SITE ON THE BANDAGE WITH A PEN OR TEXTA OR WHATEVER IS HANDY

Step 3:
Splint the limb so the patient can’t walk or bend the limb.

DO NOT..

Do not wash the bite site
Do not cut, incise or suck the venom.
Do not EVER use a tourniquet
Don’t remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing.
Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement.

DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important.
In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesn’t change treatment.

The hospital will do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used.

Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees.
Bleeding - internally and bruising.
Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing.

Pain
In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound.

Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom.

STAY STILL, WAIT FOR HELP TO COME TO YOU.

PETS
If your pet is bitten, try to keep the animal still and calm, get to the vet.
Things like Vitamin c for snakebite and cutting ears are wives tales and do not work.

Many dog trainers now offer training for dogs called snake aversion or snake avoidance.

If your dog does not interact with a snake, it wont be bitten, it’s that simple.
No Victorian snake has ever attacked a dog.

They want nothing to do with dogs or humans and will always try
to avoid a confrontation if they can.

It’s official. Snake season has officially started.

The next 3-4 months will be the busiest months of the season because it’s breeding season. That means that males will be on the move in search of females to mate with. This means that you are more likely to encounter snakes during this period.

This also means that your pets are also more likely to encounter snakes in your yard. Encounters between Dogs and snakes usually don’t end well, so precautions should be taken to snake proof your yards.

Tiger snakes are active during the nighttime also, so keeping your dogs inside at night can also prevent them encountering each other.

SNAKE PROOFING.

This is done by cleaning up your yards, making the yard less desirable for snakes to feel comfortable. Food, water and shelter is what makes your yard a suitable habitat for snakes, so by removing these, you reduce the risk.

Sometimes a snake is simply trying get from point A to point B. This can be avoided by blocking up all gaps in your boundary fences.

We also offer property inspections to help point out entry and exit points and also offer snake proofing services. Ask us for more information.

PETS AND SNAKE BITES.

Time is of the essence If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake. The quicker you can get your pet to a vet the greater the chance of survival your pet has, and potentially the cheaper it is for you.

The best advice I can give is to call your local vet and enquire whether they stock anti venom. Also check with them about their operating hours. (Find out where your closest 24/7 vet is located). Also save their phone number in your phone and call ahead before taking your pet in. This way they can be prepared for your arrival, or if they can’t accommodate you they can assist you with the next option.

Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you suspect that your pet has had an encounter with a snake, but unsure if it’s been bitten, take it to the vet for a check up. It could make all the difference.

If you do encounter a snake 🐍 on your property, don’t panic! Make sure to remove your pets out of the area to ensure they are safe. Make sure children are removed from the area, and most importantly, make sure that you are safe.
