🐍 Snake Season Reminder! 🐾
Yesterday we had an unexpected visitor underneath our back deck! Thankfully our dog spotted it first, keeping her distance while watching closely. Her unusual behaviour caught our attention, and when Paul went to investigate, he found a snake.
A snake catcher was called for relocation, however due to injuries the snake was euthanised. We believe it may have had a run-in with our big boy Billy 🐶
The kids were curious, so we used it as a chance to remind them about being snake smart. Darcy mentioned she was scared which was totally fair but it was a good reminder that she didn’t need to be and it was important to just stay calm, be cautious and keep a safe distance.
It got me thinking though.....
👉 What do you teach your kids about snakes?
👉 Do you practise what to do if they ever spot one?
Let’s share tips below. Your advice might just help another family stay safe this summer 🌞
Thanks to Gunter Snake Catcher Darling Downs 24/7 for attending this afternoon, really appreciate it. With 3 young (& inquisitive) children and 2 dogs, it was great that you were able to assist with this snake found under our deck. Our dog Billy is doing ok 🥰
