Gold Coast Snake Catcher

Every region needs a hot spot and the snake catcher Coomera, Upper Coomera and Oxenford reports these suburbs as the most consistent for snake encounters. A number of species occur here and the presence of both established and expanding development has favored some species more than others including the highly venomous Eastern Brown Snake. With one of our operators based in the heart of these suburbs a rapid response is likely if the snake catcher Gold Coast isn’t on a job further away.

Having attended to calls throughout all these suburbs with regularity we look to attend the premises as soon as possible to assist you with your snake removal and relocation needs. It is essential that the snake be observed continually to ensure the snake catcher has the best chance to catch your snake. Snakes are cryptic animals and a watchful eye is a must to ensure the snake is successfully captured by the snake catcher.

captured by the snake catcher Gold Coast or likely to occur in one or more these localities

The following list is of all non-venomous snake species known to have been reliably recorded within the Gold Coast Region, including the Hinterland and immediately adjacent areas to the west. These records include actual museum specimens lodged in collections or those recorded by well-respected experts in the field of snake taxonomy and subsequent identification.

Coomera

We had the somewhat regular experience of finding a Burton’s Legless Lizard when arriving at a snake catcher job in Coomera. This small but common legless lizard is often the recipient of misidentification. They have a readily distinguishable pointed snout therefore can be easily identified. A small, harmless reptile, the Burton’s Legless Lizard is of no concern to people or pets. This particular specimen was found under a sheet of iron on a property situated close to warehouse/industrial estates and later released to nearby suitable habitat.
