The staff of skilled FRNSW snake wranglers arrived on the tackle and set about monitoring down the one-and-a-half metre snake on the rear of the property.
“It was a tricky job as it slithered in and out of foliage,” FRNSW captain, Brady Clarke, mentioned.
“When we snared the slippery buyer, we observed it was in ache, due to a tick hooked up to its again, Captain Clarke, mentioned.
“We were extra cautious as a venomous snake in a cranky mood can be especially dangerous,” Captain Clarke added.
“The snake had a lump on its again, so we contacted our associates at wildlife rescue organisation, WIRES, who took the reptile off our fingers on the fireplace station for additional medical remedy and x-rays right now.
Selected FRNSW stations are skilled in snake-wrangling throughout NSW.
Captain Clarke says it’s been a busy snake season within the Shire.
“We’ve carried out about 5 calls this week, thus far…we’re primarily encountering Diamond Pythons, Common Tree Snakes and Red Bellied Black snakes.
FRNSW advises residents to not strategy snakes in the event that they pose a hazard and to contact Triple-Zero (000) or WIRES as an alternative.
