Snake Callout

[imported_Varanus]

Good to hear the bags are getting used well Richard.
Do u have any critisisms or ideas for improving the design?

None what so ever Baz, at least that I can find. Their big plus's for me (given that 90% of my local callouts are Eastern Browns) have been the depth of the bag and the ease of the drawstring (a quick pull on the cord and it's "in the bag"). The black colour has been a plus too, as I've found, if you move quietly, many larger, older EB's will use it for refuge and I've rarely had to lay hands on any big EB's since using your bags (apart from rehabs). Heavier duty material would be useful on windy days (flapping bags seem to put the big fellas off). My old WIRES bags were made out of King Gee/ Hard Yakka type stuff.

Hope that's useful.

makes me happy when people call a pro to come remove unwanted reptiles rather than try kill them!

on another note did any one else end up at centipede vs snake? lol

This tigersnake was getting some rays through the lazer-light when I arrived..
Made my job easy
but I dont think this couple wanted us to leave untill we had heard their life stories.
I didnt mind either, some old guys have great stories.

A few years ago i was called to this place and caught a very nice young tiger snake.
Went back today as the old darling thought there was a snake in her shed.
Sorry about the sound but someone has no idea how to control her JRTs.

She should have left the blue tongue in the garden and got rid of dog. I can't stand dogs that bark.

Two Jack Russel terriers, I cant even watch the video because the sound of them is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
I still have a headache from the little SOBs

Same area, the next street actually, but different species.
I hear Simon Watherow will be talking to the people of Botanic Ridge and Settlers Run about living with snakes next week.
A must see if you live in this area.
