Elapid relocation

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Good work Dragon170, Nice shots to

Last night I spent 2 hours getting a snake from the motor well of a car in Aspendale...what a friken nightmare.

At least the snake is ok.

You can tell Im having a hard time when I start swearing .

Night-time, no light, people and dogs walking past, making ridiculous comments and asking crazy questions..

The mosquitos were ravenous being right on the creek in Aspendale,

Kaz got bitten on thee eyelid and the top of my head looks and feels like bubblewrap..

Yeah, it wasnt an enjoyable rescue, lol

snake tug-o-war

You can't force a snake in these situations so easy does it too avoid injuring or even killing the snake, it was over 35* so taking my time was torture

This is a great vid darren, are you entering the link into the video hole ^^

It really shows how you need to take care not to hurt the snake in this situation..its like playing a fish and you have to be patient

 

[fantapants]

South Oz Tiger Snake

Thats a pretty special tiger Darren. Is this a normal colour form for this area?

 

[Barrett]

Just saw you on the 7pm project with your carpet python.

Curious here
If a snake catcher catches an elapid right in the city, where is it released?
We used to release our cobras kraits and vipers a fair way out of town
But there must be browns etc in Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane and is there any specific rule in place regarding distances?

 

[dragon170]

In Victoria it is within 5 ks not sure on other states

 

[longqi]

So if you pick up a big brownie near St Kilda where do you let it go??
Same thing for browns near Centenial park Sydney?
Anywhere within 5 ks is suburbia?

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

As a licenced snake catcher we are legally obligated to euthanise the snake if appropiate real estate is not available.


On the subject of The Project and the recent media circus that rose around a lost python.

Here are some links to my embarassment, hope you find them...amusing
