It's spring and our reptiles are waking and moving around, with reported snake bites already on the rise. Did you know that most snake bites happen to people who attempt to remove or harm them? So if you see a snake in your garden, don't try to catch or harm it. Back away slowly and keep a watch on it from several metres away, keep your children and pets away, and the snake will usually move on. If it's inside the house, close the door of the room it's in and place a rolled towel under the door to prevent it from escaping, then call a professional snake catcher to relocate it safely. Snakes play an essential role in the Australian environment and are protected under environmental legislation.
