Nice tiger Dragon, love that last pic.
Here is a video from yesterday of a copperhead
that didnt survive an encounter with some dogs in a backyard in Frankston.
This burst of Summer weather has been great and it seems to be going to last another week or so.

It was inside a house that was still under construction but just livable in, so still had stuff everywhere!

Again pardon my lack of snake identifying ability but what is this one???? I would have thought RBBS but maybe not.
long pale coffin shaped head, keeled scales along forebody.....not something you will see around melbourne.....it's a Coastal Taipan!!

Beautiful animal! I'm moving to Prossie!! How many of these would you relocate in a season?

Not as many as most would imagine. Despite 70% of callers saying "I've got a Taipan in my house" I probably average no more than 2-3 a season maximum.

Again not all that many, most have been in the Jubilee Pocket/ Mandalay area with the odd one elsewhere, though I have caught a couple in Airlie itself up Waterson Road.

Called back to the golf club to do a sweep.
I told them it was more than likely just a coincidence that two snakes have been found on the premises in a week but still they wanted me to go through each level and every room, it was not a bad way to kill a few hours on a Sunday morning but all I found was a cold Eastern bluetongue trying to keep warm in a used roll of carpet.
I think they expected me to find an "infestation" of snakes but what I did find was lots of evidence of mouse and rat activity.
While there, I watched a black shouldered kite hover over a green, then drop to the ground and grab something small from the nearby rough, a mouse or a frog maybe..
I love seeing raptors on the hunt.
Oh yes, they have put these signs around the club now to let the punters know what to do.

Called out to a pit today to find a "brown snake"
I hate going into these things
Anyway, all went well and the snake (copperhead) found a new home in the wetlands
