This footage is doing the rounds of the Australian Snake pages at the moment. Details have been covered to respect the privacy of the people involved.
This young man misidentified a highly venomous Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) as a harmless "Tree Snake."
He free handles the snake with no training or experience, resulting in him being bitten several times.
We wish him a speedy recovery, he & his family are in our thoughts.

It is SO important NOT to try to identify a snake, or handle a snake unless you have training, knowledge & experience.
If you are curious about the identity of a snake, you can take a photo from a safe distance and send it to your local relocator or send it through to Australian Snake Identification, Education + Advocacy - ASIEA.

If you have a snake in your home, yard or business, NEVER try to catch it or relocate it yourself. Please call me on 0433 590 721 & I can assist you.

Follow my page for Snake advice and upcoming free community Snake Safety workshops.

Pop on over to Darren's page and give it a like and a follow. Darren is one of the relocators that cover the Peel Region & southern suburbs of City of Rockingham that we work alongside.
He's been an absolute legend with taking on calls for relocations that I've not been able to attend while pregnant.
The teamwork with all the SOR relocators has been phenomenal and we look forward to continue working with them all.

With Dobitj hatchling season coming up, it's good to become familiar with all of your local Reptile Consultant & relocators and have their details locked and loaded in your phones ready to go.
Big hearts saving little lives 💚🐍

Jump on over to Kim's page and give it a like & a follow!
Kim is one of the local Rockingham relocators we work closely with. He's been so supportive & helpful covering call outs I was unable to attend to while I was pregnant.
I also want to give him & his lovely partner Amanda a huge shout out for saving me from a kitten the day I got home from hospital with my new baby.
We came home to find a kitten in our shed, and I am an absolute sook when it comes to cats so Kim & Amanda rushed over to save me from it.
Team work makes the dream work!

H***Y NEW YEAR!
An especially H***y one this year with 2025 being the year of the Snake according to the Chinese zodiac. This transformation will take place on Wednesday the 29th 2025 & we are busting out of our cloacas to celebrate that!

I am recovering from my caesarian and slowly getting back into action. I've started with local lizards & non venomous snakes only, but will be back to my favourite elapids in a week or 2. "Eyes on" jobs only to begin with as I can't do any heavy lifting yet.

I am also available for Reptile consultations, where I attend your property & we have a look around and come up with a plan to make it less attractive to snakes & discuss what to do if you DO see one.

As always I am available for snake safety talks at your business, schools, child care centres or social groups.
Don't forget about our free community Snake Safety workshop at Warnbro Library on Monday 3rd February 2025, 10am- 11am.

Medusa Reptile Relocation works closely with Reptile consultants & relocators all over Perth, so we are always happy to assist you in getting touch with your closest relocator.

Love and Hisses from our family to yours

We hope you all had a very Merry Hissmas & are resting full tummies! 🎄🐍🎄
My tummy has gotten considerably lighter.
3.2kg lighter in fact, with the arrival of our newest Mini Medusa, Scarlett.
Scarlett joined the team one week ago today, so I've not been great at answering the phone, however I have been posting all calls on the snake catcher group chats.
From there one of the other local reptile consultants will call you to assist with your reptile enquiries.
I want to extend gargantuan gratitude to all the local Reptile consultants/relocators who have been so supportive while I take some time off for my hatchling 🥰
The team work has been phenomenal!
Thank you also, to all of you, who have been patient & understanding.
Team Medusa is wishing you all a safe & peaceful holiday season.
Love & hisses from our family, to yours 💚🐍🦎💚

Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?
Gargantuan gratitude to Tania Cowley from Thornlie Reptile Services for this absolutely adorable onesie 🥰😍💚🐍
How sweet & thoughtful is that?!
Mini Medusa is set to make her arrival in 3 days and I can't wait to see her in this!!
Thank you Tania 💚 🐍🦎

Thinking of being able to gaze lovingly at your own venomous beauty all day, everyday?
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm already taken.

However, if you would like help to obtain your Cat C licence to keep a venomous snake, get in touch with our good friends Adam and Lisa for some skill boosting experience!

Some upcoming toasty weather may bring reptiles closer to homes as they seek water & shelter to cool down.
The most common reason we find snakes inside the house is because a pet cat has brought them in, but they can find their way inside by themselves occasionally too.
Usually in areas like laundries & bathrooms, as the cool tiles help them thermoregulate on hot days.
Good weather stripping under doors can help deter them.
Placing terracotta dishes topped up with fresh water on the outside edges of gardens gives them a drinking spot away from the home.
Please check your swimming pools regularly too, incase one has fallen in & can't get out.

As always, keep your local snake consultant/ relocator locked & loaded in your phone in case you need them:
