The owners of this house in West Pennant Hills got a shock this afternoon as they were heading upstairs. We advised that it was a harmless Tree Snake and they felt confident enough to relocate it themselves.

A 1.9-meter red-bellied black snake from Castle Hill was on the brink of death when we were called to remove it from a residential yard. Sadly, it passed away shortly after. Preliminary research by museum staff suggests its size may set a new record as the largest officially documented red-bellied black snake in New South Wales.

The specimen will be preserved and housed at The Australian Museum.

We had the pleasure of attending the opening of the new Weigel Venom Centre at The Australian Reptile Park today. It’s a brilliant facility and will no doubt be a big hit with the public.

Motorist struggles to find help for displaced snake
Kathleen was driving by when she spotted the commotion on the side of the road and pulled up to help. She looked up every wildlife rescue group she could find in Sydney but none were able to assist. One operator told her to leave it alone because snakes are on the move because of the warm weather.

“I told them it’s going to die or get run over,” she told Yahoo.

Being on the ground, Kathleen could see the immediate danger the snake was in, and she didn’t want to walk away. She thought the snake had likely hitched a ride to the area on one of the waste disposal trucks that frequent the nearby facility. ://au.news.yahoo.com/office-workers-rally-to-save-snake-spotted-near-major-highway-its-going-to-die-205751581.html

Concerned Aussies worked for hours to try and get help.

NSW police said Sjoberg had been in the elements and believed she had been bitten by a copperhead snake four days ago.

The snake’s “venom is powerfully neurotoxic, haemolytic and cytotoxic, and a bite from an adult of any of the species may be potentially fatal without medical assistance,” according to the Australian Museum.

The police force had previously said the 48-year-old photographer was known to frequent the Kiandra area and national parks around the Snowy Mountains.

Lovisa Sjoberg hadn’t been seen for almost a fortnight when she was located on Sunday afternoon at Kiandra about 85km south-west of Canberra

RIP Dingo. Such sad news. He battled hard over many weeks after the bite but sadly didn’t make it. Thoughts are with his family.
