My smallest ever snake rescue

[Jacquie]

I got a call out to a house today because they had a snake in between their screen door and glass door. They said it was small but I wasn't expecting it to be this small! I am pretty sure it's a Drysdalia rhodogaster please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

How do we know you don't have giant hands?

 

[potato matter]

OMG what a complete waste of resources. I hope you had a few kind words to them.

I can assure you my hands are normal size. It was so cute, I was afraid to squash it when I picked it up. Luckily it was in my suburb and I didn't have to go far to pick it up.

That is so sweet, so what did you do with him/her??? What size do they get to when adult?

 

[Omgitschris]

whats its common name ? and it looks like a realy nice snake, realy small though,

OMG what a complete waste of resources. I hope you had a few kind words to them.

True, but at least they didn't just kill it! You'd be surprised (or not?) at how many people still kill snakes.

By the way that snake is too cute for words.

I released it at a house that backs onto the bush that has a really nice water feature in their yard, it looks like a billabong and they didn't mind when I reasured them it was harmless. Their common name is blue mountains crown snake. I think they get to around 60cm.

nawww... cutie...

My auntie is utterly phobic of snakes... I've had to rescue a few green tree snakes about that big. It would appear she has a local female, has a few youngins just bout every year. None last year however, but i'm hoping she has some more this year! I love em! sooooooo cute!

I kinda think that's fair enough! Most people wouldn't know a venomous snake from a harmless one. What if it were a baby brown? I wouldn't want to be picking one of them up and relocating it. At least they had respect enough not to just kill it! Just my two cents worth anyway.

Very cute little guy by the way.

I cant tell what it is from the pic, it might not be Drysdalia rhodogaster. I thought they looked different as juvies, though i have not seen one for years so could be wrong.

 

[jase75]

Yes its a Drysdalia rhodogaster.

 

[jamesbecker]

pfft thats not a snake, thats a worm lol

OMG what a complete waste of resources. I hope you had a few kind words to them.

regardless of the size brown hair ,some people have a genuine fear of snakes ,so to them it is still very frightening...
arent they also called the mustard-bellied snake ?
good callout ..nice to get different species sometimes

 

[elapid@]
