Snakes everywhere


After a week of rainfall the sun came out again creating the perfect weather for snakes to be active.
The day statered out in Mt Samson where a large Brown snake had been seen coming and going from a small gap under a concrete slab. It was always going to be difficult with only a slight chance a catching the snake but I had a go but couldn't coax it out of the gap. It wasn't a complete loss tho
ugh as I did find an injured Yellow faced whip snake who is now in my care.

Just after dark I got a second call out, this time to 8 mile plains where a big carpet python had been seen in a residents backyard for a few days. There were lots of small dogs and other pets in the area so it was decided it would be best for him to be relocated. He was a beautiful example of a big Brisbane carpet python.

Not long after getting home from the carpet python I had another call, this time for a snake in a garage in Parkinson. From the decription it sounded like a keelback, but for an accurate ID I'd have to see the snake myself. So after rearranging the family's garage, I spotted a small head looking out from under a fridge, sure
enough it was a keelback. With the keelback bagged and ready to be relocated, and the family now able to get some sleep, it was now time for me head home to bed myself.

Another python and a new website

Got a call about yet another carpet python, this one was tangled up in bird netting. When I arrived I found about a 1.5m python, tangled not too badly, but badly enough that he couldn't get out.
The owner of the house mentioned she'd seen a few much larger pythons around the area in recent times.
Luckily the python had minimal damage from the bird netting when compared to another python I rescued a month or so ago, that python is still recovering from his injuries.

I also just uploaded a new website to http://www.brisbanesnakeremoval.com.au

Pythons and Guinea pigs




It's never fun to get called out to relocate a snake that's eaten a pet. But that's what happened the other day, a big Brisbane carpet python had helped itself to 4 of a families pet Guinea pigs.



I was expecting to find quite a sombre mood in the house, but on arrival I found quite the opposite.



The kids of the house were so excited about having a huge python in there shed that the poor guinea pigs were forgotten about!



A few days later I got a call to a northern Brisbane suburb where a small carpet python had managed to squeeze it's way into a bird cage and eat a few love bird eggs. His plan came apart when after consuming the eggs, he was now to wide to fit back out through the wire in the cage.



Luckily he was full from eating the eggs though, so the 2 love birds in the cage escaped.



Later in the day I was called on to help track down a Green tree snake that had made his home in a truck cabin, after hours of looking and trying coax him out we were unable to move him on, but the trucks owner was planning on leaving the doors open as often as possible and hope it made it's way out on it own accord.



The weather has turned awful, and with rain forecast for the next few days I'm not sure what effect that will have on the snakes.
