🐍 Happy World Snake Day! 🐍

Today we’re celebrating some of the most misunderstood and fascinating animals on our planet.

Snakes play an essential role in healthy ecosystems by helping to control rodent populations and maintaining the balance of nature. Despite their reputation, the vast majority of snakes would much rather avoid people than confront them.

Here in Australia we’re lucky to have an incredible diversity of snake species, each perfectly adapted to its environment. The best way to appreciate them is from a safe distance and to remember that every snake has an important job to do.

At our Educational Venomous Snake Displays, we love helping people replace fear with understanding by sharing the amazing biology, behaviours and unique adaptations of these remarkable reptiles.

🐍 Did you know?

* Snakes don’t chase people—they’re usually trying to escape.
* They “smell” the world with their forked tongue.
* They don’t have eyelids, which is why they always look like they’re staring!

This World Snake Day, take a moment to appreciate these incredible animals and help spread awareness that respect, education and conservation are the keys to living alongside wildlife.

💚 Happy World Snake Day! What’s your favourite Australian snake?

We were called to a residence today at Wyoming, because the doggie alerted the resident to a really nice Diamond python in their yard. The resident called us and said the Diamond had gone behind their hot water service at the side of the home.
We arrived and found that there was a weep hole (rather large) behind the hot water service.
A search of the yard and a door to under the house. Armed with a torch we went under the house to find the really nice Diamond travelling from one side to the other side under the house.
Bagged and removed from the residence for the snakes safety due to a dog in the yard.
Release video to follow!

Diamond Python removal from a residence in Bensville, was due to the owners having Guinea pigs as pets.
This guy was perched above watching down on the empty Guinea pig enclosure as the residents remove the little furry friends when they noticed the Diamond camping above!

We recieved a call today for a Diamond python in a backyard at Ourimbah.
The neighbors have chickens and rats were coming into the backyard where the diamond was found. The amount of rat droppings was amazing and the resident also had small doggies as well.
The diamond was relocated
