People dont call out snake catchers to remove them because they usually charge outrageous prices, however im of the belief that if there is a snake in your yard, it was there first and its controlling the rat problem you wont realise you have untilthe snake is gone. We found a spotted in our yard being harassed by my dog so we moved it to another part of the yard where the dog cant get it. I love keeping an eye out to see if its still here.

Try calling a plumber or electrician out at 2am on a weekend or public holiday and see who charges outrageous prices. I get called out at those times regularly and only charge $60.

Only one type of snake I like. A dead one. I find a shotgun to be the most effective weapon on them it works like fly spray. One shoot and dead.
OR you could call a snake catcher.

I like my post shovel the best - nice long reach with a heavy timber pole. We have had to kill two browns since last week and have seen a big one but missed him with the ute. Can't leave them roam the property with kids and dogs around.
Really CG? You had to kill them? And you tried to hit one with a ute? What harm was it doing?

I can kill a dangerous dog that comes into my yard. I can even (in some circumstances) kill a dangerous human who comes into my yard. But if a lethal reptile appears I have to retreat and let it be? No way - they'll all get the shovel.
Dave. That really worries me

They're more use than you think Bob

I say only kill a snake if it's venomous and it's trying to kill you. These people are idiots.

I don't know when she last killed one, but if she does it again and tells me about it she'll be in trouble, especially if it's a python! She doesn't care that it's illegal either... she may change that view if she ends up in jail for killing an innocent animal...

I sort of understand killing a venomous snake, but a python? C'mon!

Damn straight. A nasty neighbour of ours learnt the same lesson when we busted him destroying lapwing eggs and trying to kill the adults simply because they nested in his yard. The kicker here was that he was hardly ever at the place, it was a holiday home. I believe he got whacked with a pretty decent fine there.

people these days like *** they move to the area knowing that theres snakes. but they move there anyway and then they kill the snakes. O_O makes me very angry.... if you leave the snakes alone there not going to harm you.
on my property we have 2 tiger snakes 4 copperheads and a whitelipped snake and we see them all often and they have never caused any harm.

I dont look at venomous snakes as KILLERS ....I look at them as any other animal with the potential to be a KILLER if the reason comes to hand...I have seen petrified eastern brown snakes curled into a tight bunch hiding their little cute faces ,cause a big human was trying to hook them up and bag them to take them away to be safely re homed ..but to them I am a threat and they are scared as ...some will stand ground ,at first to fight but 99 % will flee to get away and hide ...if more people looked at them as scared animals instead of killing machines with no feelings of pain when disgusting cruel acts are done to them ,then maybe our beloved vens would get a better chance in life ...instead they get run over ,shoveled,shot ,boiling water poured on them,sprayed with chemicals ,petrol thrown at them and lit up on fire as they are fleeing away ,dogs made to attack them and the list goes on ..any other fluffy animal that got this treatment would make the headlines on news and TV and RSPCA would be involved but not in the case of our snakes..HUMANS OVER ALL SUCK!

What??? I've never known a venomous snake to "try" and kill somebody... Leave them alone or make a call out to have them relocated, they aint going to pick a fight to the death with you, you know....

Exactly! I've noticed that some people seem to find it difficult to wrap their small minds around the fact that snakes don't think like people and if they do bite it's because they're terrified. I look at it from the snakes perspective. You are only a few inches high and this giant thing comes up to you. Since it's coming at you and not backing off it must be predator, prey doesn't come towards you. If this thing is a predator and it won't let you flee from it, you defend yourself or you die. So many people these days only look at things from their own perspective and never try to see it from anyone else's. I believe most people in this country are very uneducated about snakes despite the fact that we live in a country full of them; this is where selfishness comes in. We live in a world full of animals and they feel pain too. They are all here for a good reason and people need to learn to respect that. I think there should be better education about snakes and other potentially dangerous animals in schools so that people can learn the correct way to deal with animals rather than just mindlessly killing them just because they came into your yard which technically belonged to the snakes first.
Yeah but you cant just chop up electrical cable or sewerage lines with a shovel :lol: Lots of people dont want to kill snakes, but at the same time dont want to spend heaps of money or put themselves at risk, i dont hold it against them i cant think any situation where i would call a snake catcher.
