Northern Snake Removal

12/08/2024

September 1 marks the start of spring and the official start of snake season and we are expecting a busy start to the season. We will start seeing more snakes on the move.
Spring brings yard clean ups, more gardening and more out door activities. It’s time to keep your eye out for snakes. Remember they are more scared of you than you are of them.

If you do come across a snake, remain calm, give it plenty of space and call us for further instructions.

Call me on 0406 278 087

We are available 24/7 for all emergency reptile 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.

If you have any questions regarding your property to help prevent snake activity in & around your home, feel free to give me a call.

Please remember that snakes aren’t aggressive they are defensive. They only become aggressive when provoked or feel threatened

Two fellow snake catchers appeared on the news today.

Had to cover a call for Deloraine Snake Catcher this afternoon. Thinking that by the time I got there the snake would be long gone with the drive from Launceston to Deloraine . But luckily enough the home owners kept a good eye on it and it was found without any problems. Another little copperhead safely captured and set to be released in the coming days. It will have a free feed and a rest

The world has lost a great human. Rest easy Brian. You fought so hard 😢

On behalf of the Barczyk family and our entire team at The Reptarium, it is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Brian Barczyk.
