Looking for a Snake Catcher (QLD)

[Lucas89]

Hey guys i was wondering if any could put me in contact with a snake catcher in the cedar vale qld area?
Friend has a house out there and has been finding brown snakes breeding a little to close to the house.
Also any ideas on good deterrent measures would be great
thanks

best deterrent would be to make sure around the house is clean. Try to get rid of anything that may be able to house food items such as rats or mice.
Remove anything you don't want snakes housing under or in also.
Unfortunately this time of year with food sources being abundant, a snake is likely to get on the trail and follow it through your back yard. It is most likely going to keep on going if there is nothing at your place to eat and no where to shelter.

I know this is off topic, but you seem to know, would a dog in Queensland (preferably Townsville) have more of a chance of getting bit by a snake? I am in Adelaide at the moment and have had no snake problems, so would I have to be extra careful?

Towns ville do have a lot of variety of snakes, and quite a few with a high toxicity yielding bite. I lived there for a while, and i was getting snakes all day most days, although i also lived 50kms from town. MY wife worked at a vet clinic and they did get a few snake bite animals, nothing much more then anywhere else she has worked though. At the end of the day some times you cant prevent snakes coming in to you yard, what you can prevent is reasons why they would want to stay and feel comfy there. Also train ya dog not to attack a snake and that is half the problem dealt with

Ahkay, thanks I have a Siberian Husky, who never barks but only howls and a couple of times we have had a Beardie or Bluey in our yard and she was going mental and barking, she tried to attack the Beardie but we stopped her...It is weird, she is the most loving animal with no aggression, just licks you :lol:

Ticks are the big concern.
