We were called to a house at Blue Haven earlier today for a Red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) that was sighted in the lounge room.
Upon arrival the guys said that it was under the lounge and they could hear it.
Checked the lounge and no snake.
Continued the search and found the snake had been hiding up inside their amplifier!
Caught and released no problems.
Snakes can and will fit into the tightest and smallest areas, where you would think they couldn’t fit.
Pulled the back off the amplifier and here he was, hiding out of sight!

On Friday the 24th May to the Sunday the 26th May, Tina attended a 36hr Special Forces Selection Training Camp held in Brisbane. The Camp is designed for Military,Police etc who wish to do selection course for the SAS.
When I went to pick Tina up on the Sunday, one Instructor asked who I was picking up. When I said Tina, he shook his head and said that she was a “Weapon” in his words. He said she kept up with everyone and killed the course, and at the end of the weekend, 5 people who were going to do selection withdrew because they couldn’t handle it.
We’re glad that the “Weapon”is part of our business and Congratulations to our little “Weapon” for coming 8th out of 25 people.
Congrats and we’re so proud of you!

Thanks go to The Gunning Show for having us attend again this year to have us conduct our Educational Venomous Snake Displays.
During Tina’s Show, we were told the story of young Samuel from Gundaroo, who was bitten by an Eastern Brown. No compression bandage was applied and he was raced to a hospital in Canberra by his parents. Lucky for Samuel it was a dry bite. It was a pleasure to meet you Samuel and thanks for sharing your story. Stay safe in the long grass around your home.

🌿📚 Our commitment to knowledge sharing, safety, and professional growth is unwavering. Recently our dedicated restoration team in Western Sydney invested a day in upskilling on two topics they regularly encounter when on the job.

🔍 Asbestos Awareness Training (NAT11084001)
A topic of immense significance for our team, the day commenced with an intensive session on asbestos awareness. Many of our members have had previous exposure to asbestos, making this training a paramount priority. Safety is at the core of what we do so this training equipped the team to confidently navigate asbestos-related risks.

🐍 Snake Safety
In the afternoon, John and Tina Mostyn from Johns Reptile Awareness Displays shared their expertise. During a 2-hour session, the team delved into the fascinating world of snake safety and gained valuable insights into snake activity and behaviour. John and Tina went through the essential steps to take in case of a snakebite, explained the science behind antivenom, and improved snake-identifying skills.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the training day a success!

10/09/2023

Tina teaching the younger generation first aid for snakebite, under pressure and quickly! We wanted them to apply the bandage correctly, and all participants won a first aid kit for snakebite. Congratulations to all!
