Preparing to go to the gym to liven it up (it is a dull place without me ) when I got the dreaded "Waaaa Waaaa Snake" call. Went around and it was.....
.... an earthworm!
The client was very embarrassed.

I hope it was a BIG earthworm

 

[harlemrain]

Lmao that's great haha!

 

[Cold-B-Hearts]

OMG ahahah!

 

[Firepac]

Haha, been called out to many weird things over the years but never​ an earthworm!

 

[Fuscus]

I hope it was a BIG earthworm

It wasn't. Just a bog standard garden worm.

Hope you have done your earthworm handling course.
Remember, safety first.

If you lived in or around Loyang in Victoria i could understand, i have seen worms down there that were 2ft long and as thick as your thumb, startled the crap outa me the first time i seen 1 when i was changing a tyre on the truck in the rain, at first i thought someone was pulling a prank but no....it was for real ...............................Ron

Good god, what a dangerous call. It's a wonder you escaped from it alive.

 

[Bluetongue1]

I suppose the client wanted yo worm their way out of paying...

 

[thals]

Vicious little buggers, wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, BAM! Good thing you were available :lol:

lol would you still charge for the call out?? what a waste of your time.

With private customers I charge the same regardless of if the number of snakes found and the charge is dependant on the distance traveled and time of callout!
However even if I didn't charge, the amount of chuckling this callout produced would mean it wasn't a waste of time.
And even without the obvious financial incentive I would greatly prefer a person mistake a worm for a brown snake rather than the other way around.

Wait! I smell a scam. Did they offer it to you as lizard food at a cheep rate, then tell you they had plenty more outback?
...hmm.
