Due to increasing development, Native wildlife, including reptiles, are being pushed into our suburbs. We, as humans, need to learn to live alongside these animals that have no choice but to try and survive in our neighbourhoods. More than likely, if you see a snake in your yard, if left be, it will move on by itself. Snakes do not attack people. Most snake bites occur when inexperienced people interfere with the animal. Leave the snake alone and it will go on its merry way.
Legislation states "only those reptiles, requested to be moved by the occupier of the premises when human safety is compromised and not merely when the person is inconvenienced by the presence of a snake on the property"
We will remove the animal if it is injured or in danger of being injured, or if the animal poses a risk to humans. This does not mean that we will move a snake from your garden "just in case". If you find a snake inside your home, we will relocate it back outside.

To minimise the risk of a snake on your property.....
Keep your yard clean and tidy.
Keep grass short
Food sources such as rats are usually found around chook pens, aviaries and compost heaps. Keep these area's clean.
Fish ponds provide water, so keep the area around your pond neat.
Eliminate and hiding spots such as gaps in rockeries, rubbish piles.
Wear gloves when gardening.

Remember, once a snake has seen you, it will probably move on. They want nothing to do with humans. There is no foolproof way for inexperienced people to identify snakes, so call us and keep away from the animal.
