called to remove a snake a friends

[damian83]

My wife got a distressed call from a friend today who's dog was barking at a brown and grey banded snake from a hole under their fence.
I went over with no thoughts other than a brown, it had dug under the neighbours concrete pool deck (which is their fence line) I peeked under the concrete to see nothing but a brown and grey striped tail I got closer and saw a nose buried in dirt.

Made a joke about it being a snake burying (after saying they don't have claws to dig like that) reached in and grabbed the tail(they stepped back) and I pulled out a massive..............bluie........
She was hissing and puffing so to save her from their dog I took her down two houses from theirs to the state forest ....


Nice aftenoon stroll.....

I have been called out so many times to catch "snakes" that ended up being Blue Tongues. I have also been called to catch 3 rubber snakes, a child's toy car and a Grass Skink that were all supposedly Snakes. I have also had the reverse, a old lady called me to catch a Blue Tongue that her dog had cornered, when I had a look it was a good sized Tiger Snake lol
