The good old cat strikes again!
We were called to a house in Bargo to remove a small red-bellied black snake that the cat had brought in from outside and decided the kitchen was a good place to drop it. While on the way, our client had left the house, and the snake was nowhere to be found in the kitchen once we had arrived, so it turned into a full house inspection. After searching for a while, it was time to search the last room, and there it was, hiding behind the blinds. Both the cat and the snake are okay. It is recommended to keep cats indoors or in a cattery to prevent them from killing our native wildlife, especially if you don't want a snake being dropped indoors by the cat.

A small red-bellied black snake we removed from a property in Picton recently. The cat had been sighted trying to hunt down the snake, and the snake took refuge between the bales of straw to stay safe. The snake had a few wounds from the cat and had to be taken for veterinary care before being released. Both the snake and the cat are okay. 👍

Last week, when we removed a yellow-faced whip snake from a local school, it was heavily gravid and ready to drop some eggs. After careful consideration, we decided it was best to house her for a couple of days in a small setup with a hide, water, and heat to reduce the stress of trying to find a new shelter or laying site.
We were able to capture some pretty cool footage of her pushing one of her eggs out.
This video is sped up quite a bit, and it isn't a quick process, so we took one video and left her be. The eggs will be incubated by carers, and the hatchlings will be released back into the bush to live out their best lives.
We were called to remove a brown snake from a Harrington Park property after the homeowners had seen the snake slither through the backyard and hide under some shade cloth. Upon arrival, Dylan lifted the shade cloth, but the snake had already escaped and was nowhere to be seen. Dylan then conducted an inspection of the yard and located a small hole in the ground beside the house. He decided to dig a bit to see how far the hole went. The hole turned out to be a crevice in the soil that was about 30 cm deep. Suddenly, the soil started moving, and BINGO Dylan had found the brown snake.
Needless to say, our customers were relieved to see the unwanted guest evicted from their yard.

Snakes in a car are always a fun one!
During the week, we received a phone call to remove a red-bellied black snake that had made its way into a car when it was parked at the local town centre. We had Dylan on the job straight away, but by the time he arrived, the snake was well and truly playing a game of hide-and-seek. Dylan located the snake up behind the inner guard and started to undo the guard to gain better access. Well, the snake didn't want any of that and decided it would hide somewhere else. Dylan was able to locate the snake once again, but it was in a spot where if he moved, he could lose sight of the snake again. Sometimes it's just easier with two people to get the job done. When I arrived, Dylan still had eyes on the snake, and it had made its way down to the drip tray under the motor. I was able to undo a few clips and bolts before the snake tried to make a dash for it once again. I was able to quickly grab the snake and take all the glory for all Dylan's hard work 😂.
Having Dylan on board can make life so much easier, as he's just as committed as I am to getting the job done right and making people feel safe again! Even though my hand is pulling the snake out, this catch is Dylan's one! Team work 💪

Some days our job consists of nonstop digging, flooding, pulling apart retaining walls, and lifting logs/rocks looking for snakes. Then there are jobs like this that make up for the hard yards! Yesterday we received a phone call from a business in Gregory Hills to remove a red-bellied black snake that had gone under a witch's hat. On the way there, I was thinking it's not going to be that easy for me. Surely it will move along, and I'll have to chase it around the yard or something. It ended up being just a good snake and staying there to make my day just that little bit easier!

Got an interesting call from a family friend yesterday... She was bushwalking out the back of Campbelltown with her dogs and accidentally stepped on a snake and wated to confirm what it was, turns out it was a DEATH ADDER!
She didn't realize until after she'd already stepped on it. Lucky for us her daughter caught the moment on film. You can see (and hear the F bomb) the moment she realises it is a snake.
After explaining to her how lucky she was not to be bitten, it became a reminder to always carry a first-aid kit with a bandage when bushwalking! In case of a snake bite, having a bandage on hand can help slow down the venom's spread, giving you precious time to get medical help.
Don't take risks, be prepared! Pack a first-aid kit, wear protective clothing, and stay vigilant on the trails. Remember, if you're bitten:
•Stay calm.
•Do not wash bite site or try suck the venom out.
•Call emergency services whilst bandaging the effected limb.
•Keep time of when bite happened.
•Mark bite site on bandage.
•Stay completely still (laying down) untill emergency services arrive.

Today we attended to a house in Oran Park to remove an Eastern Brown Snake from a bit of a tricky spot. The snake had made its way under the back step and squeezed into a gap between the brick verandah and the brick pillar. Sometimes we can use a bit of water to help encourage the snake to vacate the hole it is in. Well, today's water attempt had given us a bit of a laugh as instead of coming out of the hole, the snake just decided I was room service and I delivered it a refreshing drink to quench its thirst. After some patience and trying a few different methods, we were able to safely remove the snake.

A little red bellied black snake we removed from under a door mat in Chipping Norton today. Sneaky little bugger.

A defensive display from an Eastern brown snake as I was approaching it at the time, as you can see at the end it turns away to take off. #snakecatcher #easternbrownsnake #snakesofaustralia #snakeawareness #reptilerelocationsydney #brownsnake #snake
Last week we had our catcher shaun attend a vacation care in Appin to remove a red bellied black snake. Upon arrival the snake had moved from its original spot (closer to where the kids were) and was moving along the creek line only a few metres away from where the kids were doing their activities. Shaun had to make a little dive to successfully catch the snake which was on the side of a decent drop but he got the job done without incident. The snake was taken and released back into bushland away from the kids.
