So I guess what we can take out of this should be he has caught more than 2000 snakes (browns as he states) and he still doesn't care enough about the to treat them humanely. Why show off. Seems someone doesn't really have many friends if that is all he can do. Mind you the clown with the work boots and the two brooms holding (crushing) the snake should also re-assess his holding technique.

Talking snake killer

Hi - my name is Eve and I live in the Byron Bay area - I have been a snake handler for 7 years and my partner is a snake handler (over 40 years) and a born and bred Byron-ite ( yes scary I know) - George has been a thorn in our side for many years - I can tell stories that would curl your toes - but what I am after now is to find another YouTube of him - apparently he is 'rescuing' another human from a brown snake in the Sunrise Beach area in Byron - I have heard that in it he is trying to get the video-er to put the camera down - I would love to get hold of this clip and advertise it in the local paper - for too long this man has been terrorising and ripping off Byron folk - he has a huge band of supporters because he scare the b'jingos out of them with his 'this snake will kill you - don't leave the house without a bandage around your wrist' carry-on

I have searched YouTube and cannot find the clip - anyone seen it

seriously something needs to be done about him asap maybe even contact peta etc or a petition to have whatever permits he has revoked im sure we could get enough signatures if we tried. there seems to be quite a few animal welfare and wildlife groups in his area. maybe even get the irwins etc involved.

WHOEVER said the brown snakes need to be culled is as stupid as the ******** George the snake man ! for goodness sake why blame the poor animal HUMANS MOVE INTO ANIMALS TERRITORY where then are the snakes suppose to go? you morons that think like that need to move into a concrete block away from nature and you dont deserve to have any as pets..........just because its a venomous snake dont mean it needs to be culled !!!! i get so pee'd off ! I am a licensed snake catcher my only interests when i get called to a job is 1 my safety 1st and 2 the safest and most non invasive way of getting the snake into my bag .......I only get money for my fuel I dont make a profit my time is free Iam dedicating my time to save a snake from a stupid human who,s thinking is KILL IT ..........that George the snake man is an embarassment to all professional snake catchers ..........If I turn up and find that Iam dealing with a highly ven I go through a safety talk with the person that rang me .like :make sure either my mobile works or the land line is in working order,that in the case of me getting bitten I show the person where my 1st aid kit is and how to apply it if needed and when ringing 000 tell them that a licensed s/c has been bitten by an identified EASTERN BROWN so the hospital knows b4 I get there what anti -venine to have ...common sense is the 1st key to sucessful snake catching ....everything after that is concentrating on the reptiles movement etc .and I dont carry on after the snake is bagged like a friggen ape ....most times I find the people want to ask you questions which if I can answer 100% acuratly I will or I will tell them I can find out and get back to them .........and usually after they have a chat they realise that the venomous have just as much right to life as any other animal.........RBB

if you watch the snake is dead when he throws it around his neck and trys to mesure it
no snake is that limp and quiet when being handled especially an exeptionally large and pissed off eastern brown the snake in the tub at the end is a different animal

all i can say is that if i ever got my hands on him his arms and knees would be bending both ways and then there would be an amusing youtube video about his ordeal

Hi all.

I've only been interested in snakes for a couple of years, ever since i went on my first holiday to Byron Bay and saw my girlfriend's dad rescue a large carpet from the tree above their guinea pigs I thought it was the most beautiful animal i'd ever seen.
Now my Girlfriend and i have moved to the Byron area, for her to be close to family and for me to be close to the snakes. I'm a volunteer at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and I'm looking at doing venomous handling courses and all the relevant stuff to rescue snakes (and do it with the snake's best interest in mind) I'm not an expert at all, but i want to be some day!

My girlfriends parents have had him out to catch a brown, and he slammed its tail in a door (accident?) cutting the tail clean off. he then put it, bleeding, in a box with six or so other browns. They don't use him anymore. everyone I've talked to around here has a negative opinion of him.

Maybe a call to A Current Affair / Today Tonight maybe in order, they are always desperate for stories and have the ability to sensationalise everything beyond reality. If they run with then maybe one of the relevant authorities might become a little more interested in either reprimanding him or re-educating him on correct techniques ect. I will send an email with some links to them and let you know if I hear anything back.
