Georgie sent me her photo of the male copperhead that was out front of her place..

I just didn't think did I ...
Thought to tease Jill with lollies in first picture..
Knowing she's coming over tomorrow so giggling to my self thought to put the jars in with a venomous snake, but I didn't think that this wouldn't be a problem with her cause she bloody handles the venomous snakes.

SNAKE SEASON FOCUS
I'm back for my 25th season.
I will be doing the totals for each month on all suburbs and also will do a of season total aswell. cause there has been a few snakes during winter.
Last season was probably the busyness season I've had over 25 years, guess that's good in one aspect cause more people are looking out.
By my experience being out their on the field less reports of animals were bitten last season

Education is the foremost focus I have , from on the call outs, or via people calling for information to having my door open to the public to experience holding my pets (pythons)
Those who know my large pet python tank and now got another same size called bindy, that was donated among a few others .
I will try at times to put posts up to educate the do and don't .
I'm sure by now more of the public know it's illegal to harm or kill wildlife thanks to you guys and girls from my pages

One of the best parts of doing this job is meeting so many nice people, often catching a snake may take minutes tho talking afterwards can take an hour of education and reassurance.

Guess You have no idea how many people see what I do and stop me to talk about there experience with snakes or a lack of knowledge .. I love that.

Hope everyone keeps safe this season as my phone is always on (even at bingo on silent) I'm looking forward to catching up one way or the another.

Lifting a rock revealed a small snake , while they thought it stayed in the grass area, it continued travelling and wasn't found,,
close to property boundary was the issue of not finding.

Copperhead spotted by dog in residential back yard about 900mm long

Picture of a pavlova my Mother made for me a few weeks ago cause I'm not allowed to show wildlife on public pages via law holding a controllers licence 😀😜

Wanna show this picture from six years ago when Jill was bitten from one of our pet pythons. Pythons have many teeth as to a venomous snake only two fangs.as my bite back in 2019 as 2nd picture shows
