Hi all,
This eastern brown was in a residents house out near two wells. The occupants opened their front door and the snake made its way outside and made its way into the space between the brake rotor and dust cover on their car. After jacking the car and removing the tyre we were able to encourage the snake out. As it came out I was able to safely tail and bag the snake. It was released well away from any properties.
Please note I do not release near homes or areas frequented by people. Also there are regulations enforced by DEW regarding where and when we must release snakes.

Stay safe all.

Little hatchling eastern brown snake was caught today after being unable to locate it a couple of nights ago in a bedroom.

With the expected weather conditions snakes may be sighted seeking dry ground.

Stay safe all.

Hi everyone,
Caught this eastern brown snake today it was in a backyard in Gawler south. The eastern brown is the second most venomous snake Was an effort waiting it out as it made its way down a hole in a retaining wall. Notice the snake is not defensive it just wants to get away. Please treat these animals with respect all we ask is keep an eye on it from a safe distance and call a licensed snake catcher.

Apologise for the audio was a bit weird as the voice was picked up through earbuds.

Stay safe all

This is the release of the little eastern brown from the laundry today. Pay attention to how keen it was to get away. Australian snakes will chose to flee when ever possible it’s only when they feel cornered that they become defensive.

Stay safe all

This little eastern brown was caught inside a house in Gawler east. It was seen entering under the laundry door and the resident blocked the gap with a rolled up towel.
Was able to get the snake to make its own way into the catch bag with ease.

Stay safe all
