Our snake catchers were kept busy throughout March with snakes taking advantage of the tail end of the summer weather! Heading into April and May both sightings and callouts continually slowed although when the sun did decide to shine we had short, sharp periods of activity. May was a month of much scrambling through roof […]
Snake sightings in Brisbane remained high throughout February with callouts for our snake catchers both day and night! February unfortunately saw our snake catchers called to a number of domestic residences to find carpet pythons consuming domestic cats and small domestic dogs. Although fairly rare it serves as an important reminder to us to be […]
In January, Brisbane was heatwave city with temperatures regularly in the mid to high 30’s! This has meant our busiest periods have been from mid-afternoon all the way through to mid-morning with only sporadic mid-day callouts for snakes sheltering from the heat in garages and sheds. Red-bellied black snakes, common tree snakes and yellow-faced […]
December has been scorching hot with regular storms creating very favorable conditions for our scaly friends and keeping snake catchers on their toes. We have been getting an ever-widening variety of snake species turn up as the mercury has risen. Yellow-faced whip snakes – not seen for a number of months prior – have […]
Summer is definitely on the way with the mercury rising and ceiling fans and aircon units going into overdrive Brisbane wide! As always this period has snake catchers excited with not only increased snake movement but also spikes in the sightings of some less common Brisbane reptiles. November did not deviate from the script […]
The upward trend in snake sightings seen in September continued throughout October with even a few late night visitors of the python variety starting to pop up on the warmer nights. October was typified by a shift in the snake species being sighted with a not insignificant number of Eastern Brown Snakes and Red-bellied […]
With warm weather and sporadic rain making for some very humid days over September our snake catchers have had quite a few days at mid-summer busy levels! As is typical for this time of year however the busy runs came in patches when conditions were just right for reptiles. The vast majority of calls are […]
With temperatures trending upwards resulting in a particularly warm and humid August our Brisbane snake catchers have been kept very busy. A notable capture from last month resulted in 6 tree snakes being removed from a single felled hollow tree. This made for some great pics! The most common snake Brisbane residents have […]
The temperature in SE QLD has been highly variable this July making life interesting for our Brisbane snake catchers. Generally July is the slowest month for snake sightings and call outs, which has held true for much of the month. However, we have had a few unseasonably warm periods with snakes taking advantage and […]
SE Queensland has been incredibly cold of late – more closely resembling my native Wellington than the sunshine state capital! Despite the continued drop in temperature we are continuing to receive regular call outs to all Brisbane suburbs. The cold weather means you can almost set your clock to when the snakes will be […]
