A little bit delayed, but October marked my first year of servicing the public with reptile catch and release!
It's been a steady year, with some great success, like a snake that was stuck in masonry that had to be chiselled out and some jobs that were unsuccessful, like when an eastern Brown escaped into an internal wall of a house!
For all my followers, thank you. I don't advertise outside of social media and your support means the world to me.
Here's to many more years to come!

"I just wanted a swim 😥"
A call out to Mudgee to relocate this young fellow from his hiding spot near a pool!
He put on a beautiful display, that made me lament not having an camera on the end of my bag and hook.
Safely captured and relocated to a spot with a natural water source nearby, I think everyone will be much happier with this new arrangement.

Seven calls in seven days.
Not as busy as some catchers out there, but a solid indicator that the snakes, and other reptiles, are on the move!
If you would like to discourage them from entering your yard, there is a few things you can do. Keep the lawn mowed, gardens tidy and limit water that's put out, which if your like me and have dogs that last one is rather difficult.
Remember, if you see a snake the safest thing for you to do is assume that it is venomous and to leave it alone. Monitor where it goes and, if it's outside, there is a pretty good chance that it will move on.
By all means give me a call and I'll do my best to locate and remove the visitor for you.

An Electrician got the fright of his life today when he opened a hatch to find this guy.
Thankfully, Murray Darling Pythons are not venomous. They can still cause serious injury or worse though, so best leave their capture and relocation to the experts.

Spot the snake, 2025/26 season, edition one. Bonus points if you can ID.
This is the original target snake from my callout last week where the Red Naped was located.
Sadly, the upload quality isn't great, but I'll post close ups if someone successfully gets the area.

Photos of the young fellow in the bag. He was positively ID'd a little quicker than I anticipated.

What am I?
I often get mistaken for someone with a far more intimidating reputation. I don't get very big and my favourite food are Skinks.

This little fellow is my first catch of the season, he was minding his own business not realizing that he was being hunted by another snake, who was the target of the actual callout!

A mid winters call!
Just because it's colder doesn't mean reptiles disappear!
This elderly fellow got himself caught in a bit of a bad spot and needed to be relocated.
When the weather is appropriate lizards, and snakes, will sun themselves briefly if they feel the need, as well as a cheeky snack if the opportunity arises.

Whip it! A yellow faced whipsnake from Wellington this afternoon. 🐍
Mildly venomous, with bites causing localised pain and swelling, however, rarely life-threatening.
(PS, don't actually whip snakes, it is illegal and a terrible idea)
