@josh_neille: First red-bellied black snake catch today 🐍🔥 After the police spotted one hanging out at their handgun training facility, we headed down, scooped him up, and everything went to plan. A couple of k’s down the road I released him into a perfect little swampy area, right where he belongs. He was a little bit fiery when we let him go though — bit upsetting when I’ve taken him out to a beautiful new spot, you’d think he’d have a bit more respect 😅 It’s probably looking like it’s going to be a pretty big snake season too. In the last few days they’ve definitely started becoming more active, waking up from their long winter slumber. They’re all on the move now, looking for a tasty snack to snag 🐸🦎🐍 👉 Fun facts: • Red-bellied black snakes are one of Australia’s most iconic snakes • They are venomous ⚠️ their bite can cause pain, swelling, headaches, nausea and even muscle damage, but thanks to quick medical treatment, fatalities are very rare • They love swampy, moist habitats like creeks, lagoons, and wetlands • They actually eat frogs, small lizards, and even other snakes Beautiful, sleek snakes that play an important role in the ecosystem. Always a thrill to see one up close, and even better to give him a safe new home 🌿 ONYA!
