Summer's Snake Rescue and Relocation

What we thought would be impossible, turned out to be one of the quickest and simplest jobs 😂 The environment surrounding this area is perfect for Red-Bellied Black Snakes, so we are not at all surprised that this one had been spotted! Due to it being a juvenile, and already well away from houses, the snake was only just relocated about 200m further into the bush, where it had quick access to sun/water/food without being right next to a pathway! Chances of this snake going back to that exact area are extremely slim. But again, it is the wild, which is a place we share with them, so it’s important to always be cautious when in bushy areas like this! #redbelly #blacksnake #highlyvenomous #qld #twinwaters #queensland #sunshinecoast #australia #sunshinecoastsnakecatchers #wildlife #forest #bush #reptile #wow #trending #viral

Here’s to a year of being a snake catcher! 🐍 🎊 Crazy to think a year ago I opened my own catching business with my dad, and now we both work for one of the most well known snake catching businesses in Australia! So grateful for my mentors, Stu, Dan, Giffo, Glenn and Craig, and of course Max and Lachie from Australian Wildlife Encounters! I’ve had a lot of fun, learned so much and educated so many people around the world. I’ve met so many new people and formed many amazing connections. Although the work can be exhausting and involves much more than just catching snakes, it’s extremely rewarding and I can’t believe I’ve achieved such a dream role so young. Thank you for all of the support I’ve received 🫶🏽 #snakecatcher #anniversary #celebrate #celebration #woohoo #wow #crazy #dangerousjob #australia #qld #snakes #brisbane #thankyou #love #happy

This snake could’ve easily taken off further into the inaccessible cavity, but I’m grateful he was somewhat cooperative otherwise it would’ve been an impossible job! 🐍🏠 This guy was just reaching two meters, and is a Coastal Carpet Python local to Bray Park! #australia #snakecatcher #sunshinecoastsnakecatchers #qld #moretonbay #coastalcarpetpython #nonvenomous #wildlife #constrict #viral #trending #wow

Often we arrive at jobs where a snake has only just finished swallowing prey. Because of this, they are generally quite defensive and reactive to movement/touch. The main factors that change the way a snake behaves after a meal are: - lingering sense of hunger - hormonal alertness - vulnerability due to lack of locomotion - fear In this case, the snake had just been attacked by two large dogs, so it was already in a defensive state when we arrived. We relocated it safely right after this video was taken (for educational purposes), and the snake happily slithered off into some nice bushland 🌱 ☀️ #coastalcarpetpython #python #nonvenomous #snakes #snakecatcher #australia #qld #brisbane #moretonbay #defensive #defensemechanism #prey #predator #meal #reptile #nature #wildlife #educational #viral #trending
