Medusa Reptile Relocation

16/11/2025

❤️ Mr Medusa appreciation post ❤️

It's been non stop this week with 3 shows, back to back relocations and a bad case of Mastitis again! Oh the joys of breastfeeding 😅

You might be thinking "How does she do it all?? Running the business and raising 3 children!"

The answer is I don't do it all.
Not by myself.

When I'm not running around after snakes,
I'm sitting in the nursing chair with the b***y barnacle firmly attached.
While I'm feeding the baby and updating social media, emailing clients, sending invoices, ordering food and substate for our pets and allocating jobs to other relocators, Mr Medusa is working silently in the background.
He loads my car up the night before an event.
He's cooking dinner.
He's getting the school uniforms ready.
He's packing the lunch boxes.
He's building vivariums.
He's keeping everything else held down.
And he's looking very handsome with Rockinghams nicest butt while doing it all!

Mr Medusa doesn't like snakes, but he loves me and our daughters, and he endlessly shows us that.
Every. Single. Day he shows us that.

So thank you Mr Medusa, for entertaining all my tomfoolery and hare-brained schemes.
For living in a house full of snakes that you don't like, because you know they make me happy.
For being the greatest father and partner in the world.

And for shredding guitar like an absolute weapon even though you don't get as much time to do that as you want, because you're always letting me do what I want.

You're our KING 👑
We love you ❤️

🐕SNAKE AVOIDANCE TRAINING FOR DOGS🐕

Enrol your dogs in Snake Avoidance training to protect our native wildlife, and your furry friend from potential danger.
Weigh up the cost of the training vs the average $3000 snake bite vet bill...with no guarantee you'll even bring your fur baby home 😔

Avoid playing with sticks and long toys with them as they may mistake a snake for the fun game they play with you.

The following dog trainers specialise in Snake Avoidance training. I highly recommend calling around to discuss their training methods as you know your dog best ❤️🐶

We've also recieved 2 new Christmas party bookings where we take our reptiles for people to meet and cuddle with 🤗🐍
You 4 did more for our humble family business than any paid advertisements could have.
Please keep commenting, every little bit helps spread the word & helps save our beautiful native Wildlife 💚🐍🦎💚

Noongar names- Dobitj, Dukayj, Dukitj.
Common names- Dugite, Western Spotted Brown.
Scientific name- Pseudonaja affinis
Location- Point Peron

✨️ This little baby posing majestically in the ethereal lighting 😍✨️

Thank you Peta & the team from Point Peron camp school for calling me to come and help out this wee bairn!
She was too little to complete the rope obstacle course, so was sat sulking in the corner until I got there 🥺

The crew at PPCS are brilliant at keeping the kids safe and know exactly what to do incase of an lost snake on site. They make the job simple and easy by keeping eyes on the snake until we can get there.

This bubs got moved away from the kids, but still ensuring it was in it's home range, just off the property 😊

Save my number in your phone under SNAKE CATCHER in case you ever need it.

I'll post the release footage shortly.

Another day, another plethora of misinformation about snakes shared on community pages 😔
We ask that you PLEASE reach out to your local, professional Reptile Consultants for correct Identification.
Or post your photos in Australian Snake Identification, Education + Advocacy - ASIEA.
NOT on the community pages. Playing "Guess the snake" is a dangerous game in Australia

In the last 12 hours we've seen:

• Jan's banded (Simoselaps bertholdi) misidentified as a baby Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus)
🧪 Jan's Banded snakes are weakly venomous.
🧪 Tiger snakes are highly venomous.
Baby Tiger snakes are born between March and May.

• Jan's banded misidentified as a Bandy bandy.
🧪 Bandy-bandy snakes are weakly venomous
There are 6 know species of Bandy-bandy, none of which are found in Perth. The only one native to Western Australia is the Pilbra Bandy-bandy
(Vermicella snelli) which is confined to the Pilbra region.

• Jan's banded misidentified as a Ringed brown snake (Pseudonaja modesta.)
🧪 Ringed Brown snakes are considered moderately venomous, but should be treated as potentially dangerous incase of anaphylaxis.
They are found across a large stretch of land through central Australia, spreading from West to East, but not in Perth.

• Dugite misidentified as a Python
🧪 Pythons are non venomous

• Dugite misidentified as a Yellow bellied black snake.
There's no such thing as a Yellow bellied black snake in Australia.

• A Fraser's Delma Legless lizard (Delma fraseri) misidentified as a snake with additional comments from the village idiots to "kill it."
🧪 Non venomous

• Comments about there being more snakes this year.
• Comments about snakes being bigger this year 🤔

There's definitely not more snakes than usual, but all the land development has misplaced a lot of them.
We've built right on top of them, then act surprised that they're there....even though they were there all along 🤷🏾‍♀️

We're also seeing the same, local snakes photographed and posted by 20+ people, so it looks like there's 20 snakes, when it is just the same snake that is just going through its morning routine of coming out to bask in the same area.

It is also breeding season for the dugites, so males are venturing a little bit further from their home zones looking to chat up pretty lady snakes. They will always take themselves back, we just need to give them space to get there.

Then of course, once you respond or comment on a snake photo or video, the algorithm will make sure you see EVERY snake video or comment, so it seems like there's more snakes than usual.

Send your snake photos to me on 0433 590 721 to ensure you get a CORRECT Identification.

Don't be like that idiot in Secret Harbour today that killed a snake that was trying to get back to its home range with me already on my way to assist.
That person sux!

Be like Nyssa!
Nyssa Rulez! (with a "z")
Nyssa rang me because she had stepped out of her front door and straight onto this Yoorn!
She was worried she had injured it, so boxed it up and called me to ask for a health check.
Lucky for everyone, Nyssa is light footed and these Bobtails are tough 💪🏾

Jayden from Dr Dreads Snake & Reptile Relocation went and did a quick health check and we heard those magical words that makes every wildlife carer and relocator tear up with happiness...."It can stay here."

We LOVE a friend to animals that happily co-exists with our native wildlife.
In fact, Nyssa already has a large one that frequents her backyard so this one and that one might be buddies 😁

Thanks you Nyssa for being so awesome and having a big heart for our little friends 💚🦎

Noongar name: Yoorn
Common names: Bobtail, Shingle back, Stumpy tail, Pinecone lizard.
Scientific name: Tiliqua rugosa

Don't forget to come and say "Hi" to us at Baldivis North McDonald's this Saturday 15th November!
We'll be there from 11am- 1:30pm with some special guests...some with legs! 😳

Miss Hiss Reptiles & Dr Dreads Snake & Reptile Relocation will be joining us to help out on the day, so come down and meet some of Rockingham's Reptile Consultants and help raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities. 💚🐍
