Hey Baz, What program do you use to edit your videos??? also do you use a video converter? If so which one do you use?

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

I just use the windows live moviemaker that was on the laptop when I bought it Troy.
I have a video converter but havnt really used it yet.
Today i was sent these two pics to ID for a lovely MOP today.
He said a cat got it...

I love the copperheads,
sometimes they can be so relaxed,
like this one I caught yesterday down a hole,
and sometimes they whip around and carry on like little demons.

Great movies baz as always.

 

[elapid@]

nice looking copper head baz,

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

That's like a standard colouration for this area, Seaford Carrum ect and if you travel 20 minutes away to Cranbourne
they are generally darker on top with creamy sides like this one I caught yesterday.
But both areas produce a variety off different coloured snakes as well.

So Im working on Phillip Island doing some security ect for the MotoGP, but also being contacted about animals in distress, this is one snake that didnt make it.

Ill put up another vid of a copperhead capture and happier release later.
Also had to deal with a swamp wallaby, a turtle, a baby magpie, some spiders and a cape barren goose.

I did the same sort of thing for the Gold Coast 600 last year, all we came across was a peacock sitting near the pit lane, so we spent the rest of the three days walking up and down the pits, and perving on grid/promo girls

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

A peacock?, Im surprised it didn't end up under glass on the corperate menu, lol.
I spent most of my time in the campgrounds keeping an eye on the campers, helping with traffic ect
so i didnt get to see much of the grid/promo girls this year.

 

[jedi_339]

lol, surprising as it sounds it didn't end up in a bain-marie.

apparently they've had the problem with a lot of snakes etc etc during the Indy/V8 races on the gold coast so my old boss voluntereed our time, I think he just wanted a free family pass and some free advertising.

I've got a snake I saw last night I would love your opinion on an I.D, I'm leaning towards rough scaled however I only got one rather blurry shot before he took off from the flash, I'll upload in a sec

Any thoughts?

bloody attachments

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Looks like a rough scaled to me.

 

[jedi_339]

Beauty, I was hoping it was, I haven't seen a wild one before now

shame he was so jumpy at the flash, otherwise I could've gotten some better pictures last night.

 

[Bushman]

Looks like a Roughy to me too.

 

[jase75]

Yes it's a Rough Scaled Snake.

This one came from the Cowes police station.
Luckily I was working on Phillip Island on the weekend and could go out to it.
The timing was perfect.

love all your videos barry !!

 

[sarah_m]

Barry, am I allowed to ask what street in Somerville you were in? I grew up there and the scenery in that video looks familiar

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

Hey sarah,
Im not sure which video you're talking about.
i get called to Somerville almost once a week and over the years Ive removed snakes from every part of that suburb.
And Ive been videoing it for the last couple of years.
Do you have any more info about the video?
Like a link..

Lol.

Any way, here is a movie I made today on one of the callouts.
