Brown-snakes are becoming more of a regular occurrence here.
Mainly around the sandy areas near the golfcourses.
This little guy was evicted from a chook house to a more friendly setting.

What is a copperhead doing up there

Great job on the brown in the birdnetting IV. Another one saved from a long and painful death

The little deathie is a cracker to SC.
 
Short (2 min) video of the release of the Eastern Brown caught recently. As you can see he is calm and laid back and very tolerant of my presence allowing some close up filming.

Great save Barry. What were the injuries like? The dent half way down looks quite bad?

Injuries were minimal, just a few lifted scales and that was it.

She was a very healthy snake to begin with so that might have helped her survival to.

That was new years day anyway but this next video shows what I was doing Christmas day.

No rest for the wicked aye.

Please keep posting them, i have watched everyone of the vids in this thread. i am from the Langy/Mornington area and i know we had RBB down at the Primary School in the 70s, teacher whacked it and it ended up in a jar, otherwise we mainly saw copperheads.
 
Did you get any pics of the Langy redbelly from the 70s JPete?

I know there is a good population of them thriving in Langwarrin now but
earlier encounters would be great to confirm as well.

I have a place in Langwarrin where I can go and see tigers, copperheads and blacksnakes all together.
 
Nah, was my primary school days, snake appears at the school, teacher whacks and it goes into a jar. Its was genuinely very black and red underneath. In those days there was a creek down the back and no houses, lots of swampy area around that is mostly gone now.

Kids would bring snakes in jars almost every Monday...it was the done thing, they would see a snake and whack it and put it in a jar of metho? and bring it to school. In the end they put a stop to bring in dead snakes, i guess some one realised that leaving a still fairly dangerous, although dead snake in the hands of primary school children was risky.

What is native to this area, i didnt think we had anything other than tiger, rbb and copperheads? also are you aware of non local or even exotic snakes?
 
I suppose small eyed snakes would also be in the Langwarrin area,
maybe whitelipped snakes to,
but I haven't been called out to either there.

Anyway, here is some video shot last night when a tiger snake got into a lounge room at Cape Schank.
The old dog was very lucky as its owner says the dog and the snake kissed, nose to nose, when they first met.
Could have been tragic but fortunately. a happy ending.

These guys are getting more common round here. Relocated this little guy who was sitting in someones driveway last night enjoying the warmth. Always amazed at their colours, particularly when they are on the defensive.

WOW Peter, Loving these kings.
I cant wait to see these guys up close when I pull my finger out and go for a holiday.
Anyway, this is one of two tigers Ive removed from this tack shed in two weeks.
The shed was full of mice and tigersnakes are coming from all around as word gets out.
