🐍 Unexpected bathroom visitor! 🐍

We were called out to a home in Wahroonga to remove a Red-bellied Black Snake from a bathroom.

Even more surprising, we located him inside a drawer 😳.

The snake was safely removed and relocated with no harm to the snake or residents. A great reminder to keep calm and call the professionals if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

Today we were called to a nursing home in North St Marys where staff had quite the surprise waiting in their reception area — a spotted python from Queensland! Definitely not what we expected to find in NSW.

Because this species isn’t native to our state, we report the species to the authorities so the snake can be safely collected and passed on to a wildlife care group for rehoming.

A big thank you to the staff for staying calm and calling for help. Always happy to assist in keeping both people and wildlife safe! 🐍💚

Our catcher Hamish has recently photographed some stunning Green Tree Snakes around Berowra.
This species is completely harmless to humans and, if left alone, will usually move on by itself.
That said, we understand not everyone enjoys having them around, so we’re happy to help relocate them if needed.
Green Tree Snakes feed mainly on frogs and small lizards. They have excellent eyesight, are incredibly agile, and can move almost unnoticed through hedges and gardens—making them well adapted to urban environments.

🐍✨ Beautiful Diamond Python Rescue! ✨🐍

Tonight, we were called out to the Central Coast where this gorgeous Diamond Python was found hanging out in a family’s garage!

We safely caught and relocated the python, and the kids got an unexpected reptile show — learning all about these amazing, non-venomous snakes that play an important role in keeping pests under control. 🐭

Always a pleasure to turn a surprise encounter into an educational experience! 💚
