Need experienced Herper near Maitland NSW

[DeadCricket]

My aunty lives on a property in maitland that works with expensive race horses.

In view of the horses state of mind they apparently have to kill every snake seen

I'm hoping someone in that area would be willing to go and relocate them if she rings when they are seen

Im glad they dont care that thats completely illegal. *facepalm*

I'm not sure about relocators in the area, I'm sure someone here will help with that. NPWS number is 131 555, I'm sure from there, they can point her in the right direction. I would like to offer your aunt a word of caution though. Around 90% of snakebite fatalities are caused by people deliberately trying to interfere with or kill snakes. I hope she finds someone nearby to help with relocation as going after them with a shovel can have serious consequences!

Cheers,
A.

I just don't like the thought of her or the herps getting hurt. I understand why they have to do it, it would be like dingos constantly harrassing my herps, I wouldn't be a happy camper.

Ring your local vet or even W.I.R.E.S they should be able to help you
