Got called to help another relocator last Sunday. Spent 1 1/2 hrs trying to dig this snake out from a rock retaining wall without success. Went back the next afternoon and managed to catch it. Being a mere male I was unable to multitask and take photos of the capture :lol: but here are a few taken on release. I have a couple of minutes video as well but I am having trouble downloading from the video camera, I will post it when I sort it out. He wasn't in the best condition with a few skin worms and a couple of scars on his back but still active enough on a warm Queensland afternoon

Applause from the audience : )

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

It helps that the temperature outside was 12% and the concrete floor of the garage was considerably less.
The snake was actually using the warmth from my hand as a heat source.
On a hotter day i might have used a hook to begin with.

Finally managed to get the video off the camera and upload it.

Good footage firepac, nice snake to.
Today i was called to Cranbourne to remove a large tigersnake from a
woodpile and i got some footage which ill put up here over the next day or so.
Amazing what a few warm winter days will do.
We have been getting calls about snakes and snake sightings every day this week

I got called out for a Red Bellie today but I was at work so I wasn't able to get to it. someone else ended up going for it.

Nice to have a few warm days in August to bring out a few of our scaly friends.

Fortunatly I work at night so my days are free to play with these little lovlies.

Another cat attack! Had this little Marshy since late last season and never thought it would make it, but now planning a release in the next few weeks!!

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Well done Richard, Ive seen some pretty spectacular injuries that have healed over and the snake has gone on to live very fruitful lives...bloody cats....
I got a few pics and they show that this snake had lived and loved.
A few scars and assorted parasitic critters on him but otherwise in good nic for an old guy.
bit like me really..
Anyway, here are some of the pics taken on the day of the capture..
