Had a call out for a Copperhead at Leopold. It had gotten itself caught in some Bird Netting and I had to cut it ouy. There was minor inpressions from the netting bet no damage to the Copperhead. it was a bit tired from strugling to get out that it got itself tanged more.
Took some photos of when it was in the netting and after I relocated it. View attachment 191180View attachment 191179View attachment 191181View attachment 191182View attachment 191183

The fine bird netting some people put over their fruit trees is evil stuff for snakes. They should at least keep it clear of the ground.
 
Ive removed snake and other animals from all sorts of birdnetting,the fine as well as the corded stuff, dead and alive, i bloody hate the **** :x

This big red bellied black was found in bird netting inside a garden shed today... then later released to a lagoon with lily pads frogs you name it "heaven" this snake seemed very thankful when I let it go....

Yeh talking of netting... this one was not only caught in the net but in the process of being annihilated by 100's of green ants.

The first thing was pour water over him and get the ants off, even while cutting him out of the net I was still having to stop and pour water over him, which made him very slippery to head. So also had to wipe him dry.Though he was biting the rag i was using to wipe the ants off his nose and eyes I think he was just so exhausted from his ordeal he came good when released into the nearby creek and took off.

Don't know what happen to the photos, so will try to repost them.110317-1731(001).jpg110317-1731.jpg110317-1802.jpg110317-1805(001).jpg110317-1806.jpg
 
When Im driving around the wine country here i see huge fields of grapes draped with this birdnetting.We have pulled dead parrots, bats, antichinus, echidna and of course snakes and bluetongues.
We managed to stop the local Bunnings from stocking it bit it's really these large orchids that dont use it properly that take their toll on the wildlife.
Id like to pinch these pics of the snakes in the netting to add to my album with your permission.
Thanks Elapid@, Cement and ElapidSnakeCatch

****ful stuff!!

I've visited people in our area who tell me they deliberately use the stuff around their fence lines to trap snakes, because "that's what dad did"! So, instead of the snake moving through their property, they end up with a large angry Brown trapped in the garden for their dogs to find, or, worse stll, their young children!!
 
Nice one... judging by the file name you got it at St Pauls?? i got a mate working in the ADI site said they are everywhere!
 
i love those juvi eb's we get a few mature eb's up here that retain there banding like that

this is net damage on a copperhead. Must have been like having your finger nails ripped off.
The pics were taken after a period of recuperation.

Today in Narrewarren
 
I know, i was expecting a four footer from the phonecall, anyway,
the bag works well with big snakes and small ones,
and guess what,
Im taking orders for them at the moment and in the process of knocking up about a dozen or so and see if anyone likes them.
They come in black and white.

and one size fits all hoops or they can be made to measure.
