Two extremely ᴅᴇᴀᴅly tiger snakes were removed from a Christmas tree at a big city retail center by a reptile catcher. Shop owners in Canterbury, Melbourne, contacted Snakebusters reptile removal expert Raymond Hoser, 57, to Mᴀʟɪng Street.
The snake catcher was seen snatching the snakes by the heads and freeing them from the tree which was made of tinsel wrapped around a lamppost. According to Mr. Hoser, it could tell if the snake was about to Bɪᴛᴇ you by their body language. And he claimed that these snakes weren’t going to do so. The news that the ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs snakes were discovered in such a suburban neighborhood stunned users on social media.
According to Mr. Hoser, finding a snake in a Christmas tree is not rare. Snakes ʜɪᴛchhike in people’s cars, which is how they enter cities. Then they become ғʀɪɢʜᴛᴇɴed and seek refuge by climbing the ᴄʟᴏsᴇt object, sometimes a tree.
This summer, according to the snake man, people have discovered snakes in their homes, and his phone has been ringing nonstop. Last week, he took one out of someone’s fridge. The previous week, he scaled a ten-story Melbourne crane in gale-force winds to remove an eastern brown snake, the second-ᴅᴇᴀᴅliest snake in the world. It slithered all the way to the top because it was so ᴛᴇʀʀɪғɪᴇᴅ, but that’s what they did.
He advises everyone who sees a snake to not run away in ғᴇᴀʀ and to leave it alone. When people see snakes, they often have no cause to be afraid. Watch to see if it goes away by itself. If it doesn’t, call a snake catcher, but if you try to pick it up with a stick or soᴍᴇᴛʜing, they’re far more likely to ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ you.
