Wildlife vs cars.
I can’t stress enough how many times I see people hit an animal on the road and don’t stop to see whether the animal is dead, or still injured. Tonight on the way home from a job, I came across a roo carcass in the middle of the road. It was still fresh, and twitching. I pulled over to do a pouch check and drag it off the road so no other wildlife can will be injured. As I got close to the roo, I could see movement and I knew straight away that the roo had a joey. I didn’t have anything to wrap the joey up in, so I raided a nearby charity bin where I found a couple of blankets and a bag which will improvise as a pouch until the carer arrives to collect the joey. Please, if you do hit an animal, or you see a carcass on the road, stop and check, or at least call someone to check. Call wildlife Victoria on 84007300, or you can call me on 1300REPTILE (1300737845).
This was some of the aftermath of the mini tornado. The gazebo was tied to the house and anchored to the ground. The wind gust was that strong that it didn’t stand a chance. The shed is also damaged, the guttering on the house is buggered, and a few roof tiles dislodged and cracked. All in just 8 seconds. 😳
As I was about to leave my house to go and catch a snake today, a mini tornado appeared out of nowhere, targeted my house 🤪and 8 seconds later it was gone. But, in that 8 seconds it caused quite a few thousand dollars damage, 😢.
NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK!
Unfortunately, sometimes when we attend a snake call out, we don’t always end up catching a snake. There’s a few reasons why this happens…..
- Home owners don’t maintain a visual on the snake or the area the snake was last sighted.
- yard is not maintained (like the video posted) where there is debris strewn across the yard. This makes it almost impossible to locate anything, let alone a snake. If you have a clean and well maintained yard, it makes it easier to spot a snake should one enter your yard. A well maintained yard also doesn’t feel appealing to a snake. Snakes are threatened by anything bigger than them, so if there’s nowhere to hide, the snake will depart the yard quickly.
If you do happen to encounter a snake in your yard, please give us a call asap on….
0413277588 or 1300737845 (1300737845).
We operate 24/7 for all emergency snake removals.
Please also remember that it is not only ILLEGAL, but also extremely DANGEROUS to interact and interfere with any wildlife unless you are trained and licensed to do so. Snakes are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, and must not be killed.
