Melbourne Snakes have been quite active over the past few weeks. Some days I’ve had 30 plus calls. A lot of the time the snake is seen and then disappears.

          

Surprisingly people see a snake on their property and think it is the first one that has ever been their. However, most properties that have snakes are in locations that are favourable to snakes. The ingredients are all their, suitable habitat, food and other snakes. This means that throughout the course of a snake season there may have been multiple snakes pass through the property and then move off. Usually passing through undetected and causing no harm.
Generally snakes pass through a property looking for food or a mate then move back to where they feel safe. Sometimes they will hang around. If the property is very quiet and all the ingredients are present, are digesting a large food item or are shedding their skin. During these cases the snake may stay for a prolonged period and a snake catcher may be needed to capture and relocate.
My main concerns for the occupants of your property are accidentally stepping on a snake, very rare. Or your canines getting bitten. They usually bail the snake up in a corner or attack the snake and it bites. I recommend contacting this company to train your dogs.
