When the only item left on the bread shelf is a cranky brown tree snake, you know Far North Qld is having an eventful wet season. Trinity Beach shoppers weren't seeing or feeling Tip Top when they encountered some early morning attitude from this grumpy customer.
Wet conditions in Cairns have resulted in many snakes seeking a reprieve from the weather in dryer areas in and around buildings, homes and shops. Brown tree snakes, common tree snakes, spotted pythons and scrub pythons have been the main species featuring on our recent catch list. During prolonged periods of rain it is worth keeping all the screens to your home shut to avoid snakes ending up in your house.
