Ryan, did you know that if all the Kiwis left Australia and went home, Australia would raise 6 inches out of the water and New Zealand would sink.
Kiwis love to crow about how much safer NZ is compared with Australia, but conveniently forget to mention that their whole country is in an earthquake zone 😅
Professional snake catchers are relatively common around Australia. The big pythons are not venomous but they can still give a painful bite. The Eastern Brown which "looks like nothing" will kill you with minimal effort if you don't apply immediate first aid and rush to hospital.
I was woken up one night to the sounds of stuff being pushed off my kitchen bench onto the floor. A medium sized carpet python had come through the doggie door and was exploring. I phoned the local snake catcher at 3am and they turned up within 20 minutes to retrieve the snake from behind my fridge. Cost me AU$120, money well spent!
It's not an attic mate, it's just the roof space We don't have attics down here, they seem to be a cold climate thing. We have the back yard shed 🙃
You should hear the possums in the roof, for people who don:t know they sound like a burglar breaking in
Eastern brown snake - It is considered the world's second-most venomous land snake after the inland taipan
SO funny watching you freak out over the (relatively) harmless snakes and totally dismiss the one that can easily kill you.
The one that "looks like nothing" was an eastern brown snake = bad. the big one looked like a boa constrictor = not bad and the two carpet pythons are also non venomous....
Yes snake catchers is a profession here, our local guy is known as the one legged snake catcher. Dont know if he lost it from being bitten or some other cause. Love kiwis, we have their back against anyone or everyone. The only reason i dont move from australia to beautiful new zealand is i couldnt live without australias plentiful stunning birds. New zealand dont have birds. They ate them all. New zealand doesnt have snakes. They ate them all. As for you choosing to deal with the smallest snake in your reaction, good luck with that. Its a large brown snake, not known for their happy arvo disposition, but known as the irritable, 2nd most venomous snake in the world, responsible for more snake bites and deaths than any snake in sustralia. Go ahead grab it by the tail.
A girl I used to work with became a snake catcher. She used to regularly do a 'snake of the day' story on Facebook. She said she had more trouble with the constrictors, like pythons, than the venomous species. The former would leave large bruises on her arm at times from their constricting pressure.
Ryan's reaction to one of the least dangerous snakes in Australia:
The venom of the Eastern Brown Snake is rated as the second most toxic of all snake venoms in the world next only to that of Inland Taipan (which is also a native of Australia).
Their just pythons Ryan, totally harmless. They are brilliant at removing vermin like rats and mice. The smaller snale he has by the tail is a super venomous king brown. Second most venomous snake in the world. Don't take on snake catching Ryan! Just a friendly tip.😂
Love how quick everyone is to point out the one you said looked like nothing was the only venomous one in the vid 🤣
My sister called out a snake catcher at 10 o’clock at night, she was in bed and she saw a snake on top of her wardrobe. It was just a little night tiger. The snake catcher grabbed the snake and was standing there chatting to my sister while letting the snake play around in his arms. It was worth the money to get the experts in for them to relocate the snake. They put him in a tree down the back of the garden
She's a legend!
Country houses often have a resident python that lives around their house, we had 2, one that spent 3 weeks in the shoe rack outside the back door and one that lived in the paperbark tree so he could catch bats that came to the tree. They are usually placid. Other snakes slither off quite quickly. The brown snake is aggressive though. We lived in a high snake area.
I grew up in rural South Australia where there are brown snakes and also sometimes pygmy copperheads (nothing to do with the American copperhead). As children, we are taught to avoid walking in long grass in the summertime, and if we must, stamp loudly so that the vibrations scare any snakes away. As long as you take sensible precautions like that, you'll almost certainly never get bitten. Lost a few cats and dogs to snakebite, though. They don't take sensible precautions.
Carpet snake is a python/constrictor, it has to wrestle, brown snake is a taipan, it only has to bite you
